Most of you will know Dan Froomkin’s “White House Watch” in the Washington Post. In his dogged determination to report the facts and expose the lies on torture, he has been one of the few bright lights in the mainstream media. His daily column occupies some of the most influential real estate in the media. Today, he was fired.. It is possible, though this will certainly never be admitted, that his reporting on torture is part of the reason that he has been asked to leave.
It is a great loss to those of us who think torture really isn’t a very good idea and an even greater loss to journalism.
