AP owes China an apology

by Glenn Greenwald from Salon. You see, it all "depends on whose ox is being gored", or whose forearm is being burnt.
Given the standards of Good Journalism prevailing in the U.S. media, as taught to us just this weekend by high-level executives at the NYT and The Washington Post (and previously at NPR):  what right does AP have to "take sides" in this dispute by substituting its own judgment about "torture" for the Chinese Government's?
