Sensational!

"I don't know that it's purposeful, I just think there's a drive to report the sensational," Cheney said. "And it's news if you can say that somebody flushed a Koran down a toilet at Guantanamo, because it does inflame opinion."

I think there's something to this, actually. I think it's much easier for the media to report something like the possibility of abuse at Guantanamo Bay than the possibility that they were complicit in the buildup to the Invasion. Let's not forget how important a role the media played during that emotional time...
