But every lawyer and human rights person and journalist is familiar with the muddle, and nobody wants to look as stoopid as Bush next time around.

I agree but they’ve also learned that they could get away with it.
Over two months of killing people who mostly had nothing to do with the attack. Mass media is starting to slowly turn towards restraint, as are western governments, but the truth was apparent many weeks ago, they just refused to acknowledge it.

Not much of a muddle, to be frank. Just refuse to do it, against prior laws and reason, and hold out until people forget.
No one’s been punished for torturing people at Guantanamo Bay and other black sites, without ever having put them in front of a judge, or formally charging them, or even acknowledging their detention.
