History from long ago that seems to be repeating itself in The 'War on Terror' that Ruined Rome by Robert Harris at www.iht.com/articles/2006/10/01/opinion/edharris.php and newly unfolding at http://cjr.org/issues/2006/5/Umansky.asp. In Failures of Imagination Umansky, who used to write up a daily review of the US press for Slate, discusses in a very detailed and long report the role the US media played in uncovering, most unwillingly and extremely cautiously at first, the abuse and torture of detainees during the US war on terror. This is not a report to be stripped to a nutshell, but rather to be read in its entirety.
