Does He Read This Stuff Before Delivering It?
This is unbelievable and funny in an ironic way.
President George W Bush, whose administration has been hit by accusations of prisoner abuse, said that the United States was committed to the elimination of torture worldwide.
In a statement to mark United Nations International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, Mr Bush said: "Freedom from torture is an inalienable human right, and we are committed to building a world where human rights are respected and protected by the rule of law."
Uh-huh. I'll just bet most of the people who heard that believed every word of it.
If you're serious about this, Mr. President, I can recommend some places to start working on it: Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, and all those countries where "enemies of the state" have been sent to be tortured for information. You'd better clean up your own house before you start lecturing other people on how they need to clean up theirs.
