Last week, ABC news broke the torture story wide open Since then, the story has picked up steam online, but besides the Daily Show, the Nation, and Keith Olbermann, there has been a virtual media blackout on this issue since the story broke. Torture approved at the highest levels of government. The Secretary of State chairing meetings deciding how many times to punch, slap, or waterboard people in American custody.
Today, TrueMajority.org, Brave New Films, and Democracy for America came together to launch CondiMustGo.com.
