Desecration Row

I wonder what Bushco will find wrong with today's stomach-churningly vivid NYT piece about sadistic, inhumanly brutal U.S. torture of Afghan prisoners. For example:
In sworn statements to Army investigators, soldiers describe one female interrogator with a taste for humiliation stepping on the neck of one prostrate detainee and kicking another in the genitals. They tell of a shackled prisoner being forced to roll back and forth on the floor of a cell, kissing the boots of his two interrogators as he went. Yet another prisoner is made to pick plastic bottle caps out of a drum mixed with excrement and water as part of a strategy to soften him up for questioning.
Will Condi claim that the prisoner was really picking tiddlywinks out of the shit. not bottle caps, so the report is wrong wrong wrong? Will Scott McClellan insist the source is unreliable so the story must be retracted and the NYT must help Bushco repair the grievous damage to World Opinion caused by running the story?
