NYT: embarrassed by the truth...?

the headline...

Detainee Rights Create a Divide on Capitol Hill

but, as always with the nyt (and even more with the wapo), the headlines are misleading... what might appear at first glance as yet another dem-repub split, guess what...? it's a REPUB-REPUB split...

The Supreme Court decision striking down the use of military commissions to bring terrorism detainees to trial has set off sharp differences among Republicans in Congress over what kind of rights detainees should be granted and how much deference should be shown the president in deciding the issue.

here's the headline as it SHOULD read...

DETAINEE RIGHTS SPLIT REPUBLICANS
ON CAPITOL HILL...

there, doesn't that have a more honest ring to it...?
