CONTAINING LINKS TO 1280 STORIES FROM THE NETWORKS' NIGHTLY NEWSCASTS
     COMMENTS: Martin Still Cannot Use the T-word

Rounding out Obama Transition coverage, CBS' David Martin reported from the Pentagon that inquiries have already been made into the logistics of removing all 230 inmates at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base and incarcerating them in the brig at the base in Charleston SC. Martin doubted that every case would end up in prosecution, even if the move went ahead, because many of the inmates had been tortured, rendering evidence inadmissible.

Well, Martin did not actually use the T-word--but he did depict the waterboarding of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. That torture applied to many more than just KSM, Martin implied: "More than 100 inmates are considered too dangerous to release but not guilty enough to prosecute because the evidence against them cannot be used in court."

By the way, can anyone tell me whether "Sheikh" in KSM is his name or an honorific?
