.... The president episodically poses as a healer and "uniter". If he president really has any desire to play that role, then I call upon him to condemn Rush Limbaugh - perhaps his strongest political supporter - who said that the torture in Abu Ghraib was a "brilliant maneuver" and that the photos were "good old American pornography," and that the actions portrayed were simply those of "people having a good time and needing to blow off steam."

This new political viciousness by the President and his supporters is found not only on the campaign trail, but in the daily operations of our democracy. They have insisted that the leaders of their party in the Congress deny Democrats any meaningful role whatsoever in shaping legislation, debating the choices before us as a people, or even to attend the all-important conference committees that reconcile the differences between actions by the Senate and House of Representatives.

The same meanness of spirit shows up in domestic policies as well. Under the Patriot Act, Muslims, innocent of any crime, were picked up, often physically abused, and held incommunicado indefinitely. What happened in Abu Ghraib was difference not of kind, but of degree.

Differences of degree are important when the subject is torture. The apologists for what has happened do have points that should be heard and clearly understood. ....

He all but called them evil, which is exactly what I think they are.

too bad indeed

9. The media would tell us it's "divisive. Al Gore is bitter and he should

get over it." I truly believe this is why Gore decided not to run. He knew that the media was chomping at the bit.

5. heh

My favorite part of the speech was the "episodically poses" coupling.

Terrific!

6. I went to the web site you have listed and read more ....

I LOVED this part.


Raising his voice to a yell, he drew early applause by angrily denouncing the administration.


"How dare they subject us to such dishonor and disgrace! How dare they drag the good name of the United States of America through the mud of Saddam Hussein's torture prison!"

Gore charged the problems in Iraq have engendered fierce anti-American sentiment around the world, and provided a strong recruiting tool for terror groups.

President Bush "has exposed Americans abroad and Americans in every town and city to a greater danger of attacks by terrorists because of his arrogance, willfulness, and bungling at stirring up hornets nests that pose no threat whatsoever to us," Gore said.
