The Dreaded "T" Word
Reported by Nancy - July 15, 2004 -
Has anyone else noticed that discussion about Abu Ghraib, prisoner abuse (or Torture, the dreaded "T" word) & the ongoing investigations has dropped almost completely off the radar?
I found this while reading Steve Perry's weblog, bushwarsblog.com:
Abu Ghraib: A Google News Haiku
Your free press: still on message!
While cruising the online papers this morning, I stopped at Google News to run a search of some key terms in the Abu Ghraib story.
Abu Ghraib and:
Abuse 19,100 results
Torture 10,700
Geneva Conventions 5,910
War crime(s) 1,314

So I decided to do an update, & this is what I found:
Abu Ghraib and:
Abuse 8,720 results
Torture 4,380
Geneva Conventions 2,780
War crime(s) 403

I can only conclude that our "free press" is indeed still on message, & getting predictably fainter & fainter.
