"Jon Stewart: Stephen, what do you think about this idea that we are hearing from Rumsfeld, and now Sen. Inhofe, that the press was somehow irresponsible for releasing these photos of abuse? Stephen Colbert: Jon, I agree entirely with Secy Rumsfeld that the release of these photos was deplorable, but these actions of a few rogue journal (`entry_id`,`time`,`title`,`body`,`topic`,`description`,`delicious`) ists do not represent the vast majority of the American media. Stewart: The journal (`entry_id`,`time`,`title`,`body`,`topic`,`description`,`delicious`) ists did something wrong? Colbert: I'm just saying those journal (`entry_id`,`time`,`title`,`body`,`topic`,`description`,`delicious`) ists don't represent the journal (`entry_id`,`time`,`title`,`body`,`topic`,`description`,`delicious`) ists I know. The journal (`entry_id`,`time`,`title`,`body`,`topic`,`description`,`delicious`) ists I know love America, but now all anybody wants to talk about is the bad journal (`entry_id`,`time`,`title`,`body`,`topic`,`description`,`delicious`) ists--the journal (`entry_id`,`time`,`title`,`body`,`topic`,`description`,`delicious`) ists that hurt America. But what they don't talk about is all the amazingly damaging things we haven't reported on. Who didn't uncover the flaws in our pre-war intelligence? Who gave a free pass on the Saddam-al Queda connection? Who dropped Aghanistan from the headlines at the first whiff of this Iraqi snipehunt? The United States press corps, that's who. Heck, we didn't even put this story on the front page. We tried to bury it on "60 Minutes II." Who's on that--Charlie Rose and Anglela Lansbury? Stewart: Stephen, what do you think is at play here? Colbert: Politics, Jon, that's what. Pure and simple. I think it's pretty suspicious that these tortures took place during a Presidential campaign. This is a clear cut case of partisan sadism. You know, come to think of it, I'm pretty sure those Iraqi prisoners want Bush out of office too. You know I wouldn't be a bit surprised if a pile of hooded, naked Iraqis has a job waiting for them in the Kerry Administration.
