McCain's perspective

"Despite what some might think, the senator insists he was not reminded of his own experience, more than three decades ago, when he saw the photographs of naked Iraqi prisoners, images he calls "so horrific it defies my imagination." But asked to compare the two situations, he offered a quick and revealing rejoinder: "I was never subjected to sexual humiliation and degradation."

"Rick Davis, who ran Mr. McCain's campaign for the presidency in 2000, was struck by that comparison. 'He said, `You know, I was tortured, but I was never humiliated.' To me, torture is humiliation. I guess he saw it in a different light. Only someone who has been there would understand the difference.'"

And this will only get worse. And, since this is the Bush administration, it will get worse in drips and drabs. Well -- a predictions -- the pressure builds until they release everying* late on the Friday night prior to Memorial Day.

*Everything except the "videotapes" we keep hearing about; those will wait until the night before the July 4th holiday, just to underscore the administrations brilliant sense of irony.
