I think this ultimately may cost the President his job - if it turnes out that civilian leaders in Washington approved certain interrigation tactics.

Not approving interrogation tactics. But if they have denied knowledge when they did approve then yes, it sure could.

This is a much bigger issue for the beltwayers than it is for flyover country. IMHO.

The WH could have diffused this entire thing - by going on the offensive when Inhofe and Zell Miller did after the Berg killing. The people were ripe for a backlash against this incessant story. Now, they will gin up a bunch of new "leaks" to keep it going. Use of dogs is not "torture", none of this stuff is.

Seems to me that's what this story is suggesting. And the quotes in this story came from Pentagon lawyers, who I'm sure know more than any of us here do. I'm not going to dismiss everything just because my party is in the White House. I'll wait for all the facts come out - although I'm not sure where one will get the unbiased truth with the media outlets we have.
