From the Washington Post:
In what has become a monthly session with reporters, Bush called "absurd" a human rights report condemning the U.S. treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

"It seemed to me they [Amnesty International --EB] based some of their decisions on the word of -- and the allegations -- by people who were held in detention, people who hate America, people that had been trained in some instances to disassemble -- that means not tell the truth," Bush said.


(Disassemble. Shit. I shrieked with laughter but at the same time was horrified and disgusted. Such the word snob. But I digress; back to the expression of extreme disgust in our current Administration:)

Never mind that BushCo cited AI reports about conditions in Iraq to justify their pillaging colonization war.

Later in the same article, the Post features this little tidbit:
Speaking a few hours after former Russian oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky was sentenced to nine years in prison after a trial that many democratic activists called politically motivated, Bush said he has expressed concerns about the legal proceedings to President Vladimir Putin and will watch the appeals process closely. "Here, you are innocent until proven guilty, and it appeared to us, at least people in my administration, that it looked like he had been judged guilty prior to having a fair trial," Bush said.


Oh, no, we can't imprison people without a fair trial. That'd be unAmurkin.

MAKE THE STUPID STOP
