YES, THEY’RE OLD NEWS, but Joe Gandelman is very unhappy with the latest reports of prisoner abuse, reported in today’s New York Times. He’s reminded of Franco’s regime — though I suspect that in Franco’s regime he wouldn’t have been allowed to say that, and the people involved wouldn’t be facing serious charges. Still, it’s a very worthwhile and level-headed post.

UPDATE: Roger Simon calls this “highly disturbing,” but also wonders why the Times didn’t make the whole document available online.
