Bush says Amnesty report 'absurd'

George Bush said the US "promotes freedom"

The human rights group described the US Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba as "the gulag of our time".

There have been allegations that guards at the camp had desecrated the
Koran, prompting protests in Muslim countries.

But Mr Bush said on Tuesday: "The United States is a country that promotes freedom around the world."

"I'm aware of the Amnesty International report and it's absurd, it's an absurd allegation," the president said during a press conference in the Rose Garden of the White House.
…

"In terms of the detainees, we've had thousands of people detained, we've investigated every single complaint," he said.


The report from the London-based human rights group followed allegations made by former detainees at Guantanamo Bay and other US facilities across the world.

Mr Bush said its accusations therefore stemmed from "people who hate
America, people that have been trained in some instances to disassemble, that means not tell the truth".

But Amnesty hit back. Executive director William Schulz said: "What is 'absurd' is President Bush's attempt to deny the deliberate policies of his
administration."

"What is 'absurd' and indeed outrageous is the Bush administration's failure to undertake a full independent investigation."

It’s always a very special -- nay, a treasured moment – at Castle Driftglass when someone tries to teach Preznit Fredo a New Big Word. When he romps onto the world stage without his radio-controlled Underoos, all eager and frisky and dumb and not only says it completely wrong, but then goes on to actually explain the word that he just eviscerated – the one that Karl or Dick has just taught him to sound out -- as if he had just broken the Mayan Codex or single-handedly mapped the genome of the Beluga whale.

The gatos and I all gather ‘round the wireless very much like I imagine my grandparents would have done for a Roosevelt Fireside Chat. I pour a couple of fingers of the good scotch, and bask it the warm glow that comes with knowing that one is living through history.

Millions can say that they were alive during the moment when the human race stood still and watch one of our own kind walk on the surface of the Moon. And some few remain alive who remember first-hand the sting of battle during the War that was supposed to have Ended All Wars.

And I can say that I lived to see the single stupidest human being ever to occupy the White House not only elected but re-elected and carried cheering into office by an army of chittering inbreeders who think teaching science is an affront to God.

Stupid and a colossal liar and has dragged us into a bloody war on what were completion fictitious reasons and has run up more debt than any man in history: seriously, it’s that a helluva combo? Doesn’t he easily bid fair to be the worst President in history? And for those of you who have maye always wondered who in their right minds would have ever elected, say, a rabid madman like George Wallace, take a good look around, ‘cause baby, your soaking in it!

But this article also features something that makes it extra special; something I have to think Dick Cheney did deliberately as a shout out to all of his old Watergate homeys to celebrate of the outing of Deep Throat after lo’ these many years.

A genuine, vintage 1973 non-denial, denial.

Behold!

The Amnesty report has already provoked a robust reaction from the US top military officer General Richard Myers and Vice President Dick Cheney.

"I think the fact of the matter is the United States has done more to advance the cause of freedom, has liberated more people from tyranny over the course of the 20th century and up to the present day than any other nation in the history of the world," said the vice president.

He is, of course, sort of correct. We have indeed done many generous, liberating things for many people around the globe. And taken in the aggregate – the 20th century and lumping in your own, few disasterous years -- it totals up well in our favor.

The problem is, well, what the FUCK did you and Curious George have to do with WWI or WWII or Kosovo, or Korea? What did you have to do with Vietnam for that matter, except run from it like the Wicked Witch of the West from a SuperSoaker firing squad when your country called on you to help?

Reiterating the accomplishments of your predecessors has nothing to do with your present situation, and really only serves to underscore how sunk-to-the-hips in lies and death and more lies and more death you have finally become. How cavalierly you and your Neocon reacharound buddies have pissed away the global respect and goodwill a century of far better men than you had worked so hard to store up.

Our nation’s good name; just another Amex card that George inherited from his betters, cashed out, squeezed dry and shitcanned. Just another drunken mess for the help to clean up

So nice try, Dick. Really throwing down some old school dance moves.

As opposed to Dear Leader, who’s being just being dis-igneous.

Which, by the way, means “dumb as a fucking rock.”
