This article calls out NPR on being too timid to call out torture for what it is. Instead, they fall back on the Cheney-style euphemisms for what is, to be completely honest, torture.
This is the continuing problem I have with NPR and the author gives some reasons for why this is how it is. There are some great shows, with fantastic hosts, but the whole "let's suck up to the Republicans" meme really brings down the quality.
A lot.
Enough to stop me from donating anything to them. Ah well. You really do hope for more. Why is is wrong to call racists racist? Or corporate-paid politicians enemies of the common man? Or the folks stocking up on guns because we have a black President traitors?
Wrong is still wrong, right?
