I recently posted that Abu Ghraib story would continue because the leak of the Taguba report showed there are people in the Pentagon who want this to come out. I forgot to include that the inability of Bushco to come clean about anything would lead to the traditional cover-up phase of a scandal.
Here's today's lead editorial in the WaPo
if President Bush and his senior officials would acknowledge their complicity in playing fast and loose with international law and would pledge to change course, they might begin to find a way out of the mess. Instead, they hope to escape from this scandal without altering or even admitting the improper and illegal policies that lie at its core. It is a vain hope, and Congress should insist on a different response.
In spite of the attempts to wash this away, and yesterday's horrifying assist from AQ, the steady drip drip is turning into a flood.
