Spanish Inquisition and then some...

There's been an awful lot of material out there the last coupla days on the Spanish judge going after the torturers, Abu Zabayda, Dawn Johnsen, etc., etc., and blogging about them one at a time might have missed the larger point. I couldn't have figured out how to tie them all together in my wildest dreams, but Rachel Maddow, obviously a regular reader of my mind, does it beautifully in this 12-minute clip, presented here for all our readers whose rabbit ears have gone on the blink and might have missed it. Cable rabbit ears? Oh, well...

And even as old as I am, I never watched Walter Cronkite with my pants around my ankles. Rachel is a big improvement.
