That's NEWS, huh?
We got A LOT MORE GOING on than THAT at the present time.
You would think that it JUST HAPPENED YESTERDAY the way the newspapers keep pushing that theme.
Well, WE GOT POPULATIONS LIVING THEM NOW!
This is WHY the AmeriKan newspapers are tanking: written of, by, and for (rhymes with) you-know-whose.
Here's another connection they want you to make with their choice word selections.

Of course, let's not forget whose agenda the Globe is pushing:

"Prisoner’s death linked to abuse by Iran" by New York Times | September 1, 2009

CAIRO - In what may be the first admission that a prisoner died from abuse by Iranian prison authorities after postelection unrest, a semiofficial news service reported yesterday that the son of an adviser to a prominent conservative politician had died of “physical stress, conditions of imprisonment, repeated blows, and harsh physical treatment.’’
The report, by the Mehr News Agency, quoted “informed sources’ saying that the medical examiner had determined that Mohsen Ruholamini, 25, died from abuse and neglect after being held in the Kahrizak detention center and then being transferred to Evin prison under “unsuitable conditions.’’
He was one of hundreds of people arrested as mass protests swept major Iranian cities after President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claimed a landslide victory in June, and one of scores who died.
“As a result of his poor physical condition, at the end of the journey, and after a delay of 70 minutes in transferring him to hospital, he unfortunately died,’’ said the report by Mehr, which has close ties to conservatives.
The apparent admission of abuse appears to fit squarely with the recent strategy of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader, of trying to calm the political crisis that has refused to let up, and to restore some of his lost credibility, political analysts said.
As a religious and civil leader, Khamenei is supposed to be seen as above the political fray.
Ruholamini’s father, Abdolhossein, was a senior political adviser to Mohsen Rezai, a defeated presidential candidate and former commander of the powerful Revolutionary Guards.
Authorities told the elder Ruholamini on Aug. 9 that his son had died from meningitis.
But Ruholamini, who leads a prestigious scientific center in Tehran, later said that he had found his son’s bloodied and bruised body in a morgue.

As an AmeriKan I feel I am no longer qualified to cast blame or aspersions on anyone regarding the issue of torture.
