WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush, whose administration has been hit by accusations of prisoner abuse, said on Sunday 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, 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."

9. Why certainly.... that's why he was so eager to sign onto the ICC.

[fooj]

5. What? How can that be? Where will we "outsource" our prisoners?

Lies. All lies.

6. the absolute balls on that bastard.

he is amazing. the us (except maybe some real sickos in the cia etc) did not torture until bush came along.

you want to eliminate it, you asshole, turn yourself over to the international court right now and resign. otherwise. shut up.

7. I wish his words were reality

I'm tired of this BS

8. Bush opposes "torture" (as secretly defined in a legal memo)

Torture is what we say it is. Rights are what we say they are. And violations of your rights occur when we say they do.

Now put your hood back on and hold out your hands.

[acmejack]

14. I wonder what we will call it now?

Powerful persausion? Enhanced evidential extraction?

[Inland]

18. "Better than they deserve". Bush says no torture, but repugs call for it.

I know what the repugs in congress call it. They call it better than they deserve.

While Bush walks around saying no torture, the reight wing talkies all say that torture is exactly what those Gitmo prisoners should get. Typical Bush--tell the world one thing, and the righties all know that he is lying.

[ohtransplant]

11. Does this mean he'll resign Tuesday?

:evilgrin:

[sweetheart]

12. It makes you wonder what his prayers are

He clearly does not pray to jesus, so it must be a rather strange
moment when his lips make funny movements in the silence of the night.

Is there any sincerity, or is it all just a load of stinky doo muttered
under his breath before he takes his drugs and "stuffs the tree up."

And little cindy loo hoo who's no more than two asked "why?" mr. Grinch
"why?"

Would that he use the bully pulpit (and his legislative powers) to end
slavery and womens repression worldwide... oh dear, the opportunities
missed with this miserable lot of criminals are sadly so many.

13. As Usual, he ain't walking what he talkin....."

Full of shit he is.... The smelly kine....

[cynatnite]

15. Maybe he's really telling the truth this time

okay, time to go back to the real world. :eyes:

[The2ndWheel]

16. Well when we're all living

in the Wal-Mart Detention Store, how will we know what torture is if everyone is being tortured? Why else give them the right to take your house?

They will make us love them.

[sellitman]

17. I think he is losing it gang....

He is starting to break down. This egotistical moron is pulling a Dick Nixon before our eyes.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

[Oversea Visitor]

19. Woah

Start in your own backyard you moron.

[PretzelWarrior]

20. take the first step, Bush. RESIGN you PR!CK!

god...what a f*cking loony he is. the central point causing the US population and people of the world to rally against him is an administration and military that condone torture and he is out there beating the streets saying he will eradicate torture.

nice.

the world has bought a f*cking clue and is on to you, Benedict Arnold Walker Bush. You are a traitor and will be dealt with like Moussolini and other traitors who dared to rule as such.

[Independent_Liberal]

21. That's right! Eliminate it!

We're on a mission to eliminate torture worldwide!
