Last week, ABC News reported what should be a bombshell: that "Top Bush Advisors Approved 'Enhanced Interrogation'."

In dozens of top-secret talks and meetings in the White House, the most senior Bush administration officials discussed and approved specific details of how high-value al Qaeda suspects would be interrogated by the Central Intelligence Agency, sources tell ABC News.

The so-called Principals who participated in the meetings also approved the use of "combined" interrogation techniques -- using different techniques during interrogations, instead of using one method at a time -- on terrorist suspects who proved difficult to break, sources said. [...]

As the national security adviser, Rice chaired the meetings, which took place in the White House Situation Room and were typically attended by most of the principals or their deputies.

Unfortunately, there is a noticeable lack of outrage in the media about the story. Digby calls them out:

Since the national news is obsessed with the Pope's visit, "bitterness", "duck blinds" and how and what Democrats drink in diners and bars, they are not inclined to pursue this. Or maybe they just think the top echelon of the Bush administration personally approving specific torture techniques is business as usual by now. It isn't.

There was a time when many members of the press and many citizens of this country would rend their garments about what they would "tell the children" about sex in the White House. Oddly, they seem to be unconcerned about what to tell the children about torture being devised and approved in the same place. That tells you something about the provincial Village that runs our politics.

In the wake of this revelation and the crickets chirping in the media, Brave New Films, True Majority and DFA have launched www.CondiMustGo.com, which features an online petition to the presidential candidates urging them to call for the resignation of Condoleezza Rice and an ad that will air in the Philadelphia market after tonight's debate.

Watch it below:

I confess to not having covered it myself so I'm glad to get this issue some eyeballs tonight. Please sign the petition and watch the full length video at www.CondiMustGo.com. And use FireDogLake's letter to the editor tool to tell your local papers to cover this story.
