In a Seattle lecture, filmmaker Spike Lee took aim at the Bush administration, calling Secretary of State Donald Rumsfeld a "gangster" and expressing surprise the adminstration hasn't killed Michael Moore for his new documentary linking the president's family to Osama bin Laden's clan.

After his reference to Rumsfeld, Lee focused on the Iraqi prisoner-abuse scandal, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer's Robert L. Jamieson Jr., who praised the filmmaker for his "sobering" message Saturday night at the Paramount Theater in Seattle.

"So we liberate people so we can torture them," Lee said, his voice dripping with sarcasm, according to the columnist. "I like that."

4. the whole maladmin is made up of 'gangstas' and thugs

seriously, the group dynamic is closer to that of a mafia group than a legitimate administration.

5. Spike missed one comment

He should have added - bomb them into submission so they can taste freedom. Tortured them so they could taste justice.
