Bush's Empty Words On Torture
by Michael in New York - 6/28/2005 12:39:00 PM

Anyone catch this? The UN just celebrated the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture.

Bush happily and unselfconsciously weighed in with these words, per USA Today of 6/27:

"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."

And if it takes torturing a bunch of thugs and criminals and terrorists to get to that world, by God you can be damn sure we're the ones to do it!

2. is this like "sometimes you've gotta kill the patient in order to save him
or something like that?

"Sometimes you've gotta torture a few thousand people in order to ensure human rights."

wtf?

4. LOL. Don't you wish there was a truth ticker running under his speech?
"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."

And if it takes torturing a bunch of thugs and criminals and terrorists to get to that world, by God you can be damn sure we're the ones to do it!
