That was the headline I saw on netscape, aol, compuserve, that whole net circle.

BUT-I click on the news story from CNN, with the headline of the thread being the headline of the story, and I get this:

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A senior defense official said the expected release of memos Tuesday will show that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld never approved a controversial interrogation technique called "water boarding," contrary to what CNN reported earlier.


Thank you, CNN. :roll:

Maybe its a mistake, and not blatant media bias? Eh...

I think this is a mistake... netscape isnt generally my source of accurate news... any actual news providers make that claim? probobly not. Is this kinda crap where the myth of left-wing media bias comes from?

Well, actually, I saw a report on CNN earlier this morning saying that he had approved water boarding... absolutely despicable.
