Bunch of stuff the "liberal media" will probably forget the next time Britney Spears takes a dump

So the CIA erased a bunch of tapes showing the torture of prisoners, which was supposed to presented as evidence to the 9/11 Commission....so what's one more total affront to everything the country stands for?
