Andrew Sullivan isn't talking about Newsweak's policies, he's talkiing about our previous policies as in the U.S. govt's previous policies (as if Abu Graib was according to policy).

Actually I think you guys are both wrong ( with due respect), I think he was trying to say that our previous policies....as in the United States' Previous Policies have made this plausible....basically the same bs reasoning that Dan Rather tried..
