Tortured Words

(February 13, 2008) Interrogation or torture, trial or travesty - news media around the world used their own perspectives to judge the upcoming trial of key 9/11 suspects by military tribunal. What you call it matters, shaping public opinion in the U.S. and worldwide. Especially revealing are the differences in images and words between U.S. and international broadcasters - of 9/11, and of waterboarding.
