Annals of Journalism: WSJ on Torture

Number of column inches in my (paper) Wall Street Journal this morning on the release of the torture memos: 18 (on page A5, under a headline reading "Obama Grants Immunity...").

Number of column inches in an op-ed by a former CIA Director and a former Attorney General on why we must keep torturing: 42.

Number of column inches to a front-page (plus jump) story on a comic-book typeface: 34.
