What Media Bias?

Pope Benedict visited Ground Zero today to pray for the victims of the 9/11 atrocities, and the Associated Press uses it as an excuse to bring up their favorite subject:

Benedict has been critical of harsh interrogation methods, telling a meeting of the Vatican’s office for social justice last September that, while a country has an obligation to keep its citizens safe, prisoners must never be demeaned or tortured.

That paragraph is a complete non sequitur, tossed into the middle of the article for no reason other than to grind a political axe.
