Right-wing blogger Instapundit and the conservative echo chamber continue to pile on Newsweek for its recent mistake and are now going after the NYT for its latest report on detainee abuse, this time in Afghanistan. In this report, however, there is plenty of documentation and even gruesome detail about the goings-on at the Bagram detention center.
Much of the criticism of Newsweek has followed the line of, "those liberal journalists just don't trust the military. They're out to embarrass the government. They're all disloyal Americans. Their actions amount to treason, really." Actually, skepticism of the military makes quite a bit of sense these days. Just ask Pat Tillman's mom. Is she "circling the wagons" in defense of Newsweek?
