Abuse? What abuse?

I think by now we've all read the reports that Dick Cheaney was "offended" by the Gitmo reports of prisoner abuse, and that the Pretzeldent considers the report "absurd."

{pause} {sigh}

Who are they trying to kid? Do they really think the rest of the world is buying the "Dur...I uh disagree" approach? Especially after this? Or this? Or these? Do they really think that the rest of the world, or even a large percentage of the American people, believe these to be "isolated incidents"?

Of course, the folks at Fox News, in their hurry to bring us the "Fair & Balanced" version, pull the old "Hey look! Closing arguments in the Michael Jackson trial!" bluff.
