Meanwhile the New York Times is reporting the Bush administration is engaged in an internal debate over new guidelines for interrogating detainees. Vice President Cheney’s new chief of staff David Addington has emerged as a key opponent of including language from the Geneva Conventions that prohibits inhumane treatment. Addington was promoted from chief counsel following last week’s resignation of Lewis Libby. The Times reports Addington verbally assailed an aide who referenced Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions in a Pentagon briefing. Speaking of the aide, a Pentagon official told the Times : “He left bruised and bloody. He tried to champion Article 3, and Addington just ate him for lunch.”
