August has a great post on this snotty "Newsweek Lied, People Died" phrase that the wingnuts are grabbing onto with their blood-covered hands and spouting smugly while ignoring the death count that clicks ever-higher in Iraq.
The audacity of this amazes me. Seriously, if anyone says this to me in real life, I don't know what my reaction will be. If my blog suddenly goes silent, I'm probably in jail for assaulting an asshole, and not in a good way.
UPDATE: Tbogg has more.
MORE UPDATE: The Rude Pundit has more. I'm afraid he's right... the Bushies are going to try and use this ridiculousness to get a free pass on torture. Not that I think they would have ever been brought to justice, anyway...
