U.S. Disconnect on Bush Abuses

The Washington Post and other leading U.S. news outlets are having trouble bridging the widening chasm between the American self-image as the world's beacon for human rights and the new reality under George W. Bush of the United States as a country that practices torture, assassination and "disappearances."

This disconnect arose on the Post's Feb. 28 editorial page as the newspaper took note of the mounting evidence that the Bush administration is letting its torturers off the hook, while simultaneously writing as if Bush has the moral standing to condemn the U.N.'s human rights body.

For the full story on this extraordinary case of cognitive dissonance, go to Consortiumnews.com.
