It's sad that no-one's talking about it.

Well, first, pocketbook issues are dominating the news cycles here, and have
been for weeks.

Second, that the White House was directly responsible for torturing captives -
or that they actually observed same in real time on their video monitors - is
not news to anyone that has been paying attention.

Finally, Obama long ago let it be known where he stood on such issues, and -
to his great credit - so did McCain. Thus, toture is not a differentiator in
this election...
