If Syria's accused of terror why does Bush send terror suspects to Syria?

Isn't this a complete disconnect, sending terror suspects to Syria to be tortured while we're telling the world that Syria supports terrorism?

Has anyone in the media asked BushInc this question?

1. Because it's okay when we do it.
Really, it's just part of the Bushian self satisfied belief that God, history or democracy justifies them.

You could point out that Bush has so little faith in law or democracy that we have to implicitly recognize that an autocratic, torture state is better at rooting out terrorism than we are.

Why would Iraq, for example, choose democracy when to really fight terrorism, you need an autocratic, rights free leader?

tail anymore. It is all a joke with a horrible price to be paid. Haven't been on the boards lately and to come back and get a big pic is very enlightening. Same stories, same crap, some blatant power plays, just different proper nouns.

3. The media can't ask such questions
to do so would be considered dissent and typical behavior of the "liberal media." Besides, why are YOU even asking questions? Those people are all terrorists, why do you care if they are tortured? Why do you hate America so much? (See, I've been listening to the news a lot lately!)
