Bush blasts Amnesty report on Guantanamo
President says document is an ‘absurd report’

The Associated Press
Updated: 11:24 a.m. ET May 31, 2005

WASHINGTON - A human rights group's report about conditions at the U.S. military's prison at Guantanamo Bay is "absurd," President Bush told reporters Tuesday.

The Amnesty International report, released last week, said prisoners at the U.S. Navy base had been mistreated and called for the prison to be shut down.

The president, addressing a news conference at the White House, said the Amnesty document was an “absurd report.”


He said the allegations were based on interviews with detainees, who hated America and were trained to lie.

Um, didn't the Pentagon, FBI, Red Cross, etc.. report that these allegations were essentially true? I guess they all hate America?

1. As I have said.
If his lips are moving, then he is lying.

Time to send another check to Amnesty International.

2. Bush needs to define 'hate America'.
Maybe it means 'Hate Bush's policies and psychotic ways of doing things.'

3. Poor bush. Such a pathetic and total liar.
But the rightwingnuts will swallow the bushit. They always do, no matter how many times they're shown to be silly fools for doing so.

to that? I hope the dems don't just ignore this.

6. Nice summary, MSNBC!!! Except he didn't say "lie"
He said "Disassemble".

These turrsts are trained to take things apart! Yikes!

Watch for the 'scrubbed' version to be corrected to 'dissemble'.

7. Were they based on interviewees with people still being held
or with people the US released? Is Bush saying the US released people who were trained to lie?

8. They are bullies
That hate not being in control of everything around them and they hate Americans who would say NO to being controlled, used,dominated,.They hate Americans who do not submit, They hate Americans who hate abuse, who say,NO you can't rape people to get information out of them,NO you can't hurt kids to make them obey an authority, NO you can't destroy a country to get what you want NOW.Bush's people are the worst of the MORAL RELATIVISTS who ironically are posing under the mantle of moral absolutes. How else can you whine about fetuses dying while killing children? There people are capricious bullies wanting to dominate the world and if they can't possess it they will destroy it. They have no souls.All of this suffering and scamming is an entertaining game to these sick bastards.. The toxic noise they make needs to be shut down,so we can learn to think and feel...the horror of what we have let these pigs do???

They hate the America that hates tyrants,bullies and authoritarians.They hate the America that has a conscience and a live and let live/equality mindset.

They hate the good hearted.The gentle,the Peacemakers,The ethical,
The freedom loving,the independent thinker,the generous,the concerned unselfish, and the creative.

9. Guantanamera
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8040551/

"One Guantanamo prisoner told a military panel that American troops beat him so badly he wets his pants now. Another detainee claimed U.S. troops stripped prisoners in Afghanistan and intimidated them with dogs so they would admit to militant activity."

“As he was hitting me, I kept telling him, no I didn’t receive training. I was crying and finally I told him I did receive the training. My hands were tied behind my back and my knees were on the ground and my head was bleeding. I was in a lot of pain. ... At that point, with all my suffering, if he had asked me if I was Osama bin Laden, I would have said yes.

“What is my crime? Because of the United States, my hand is handicapped. I can’t work.”

Another man alleged that U.S. troops stripped the prisoners of their clothes in Afghanistan and bullied them into saying things the Americans wanted to hear.

“Americans were beating us really hard, and they had dogs behind us and they said if we didn’t say this, they would release the dogs,” he said.

One prisoner told the tribunal that some of his fellow detainees at Guantanamo are sick and elderly. “I found my brothers being tortured in Kandahar and here,” he said.

"With only four men charged to date and military trials stalled because of appeals in U.S. courts, it may be even longer before the fate of the prisoners is sorted out."

10. Now they're trying to smear Amnesty
Good luck with that, retards.

Bush wants to give gullible freepers the impression that Amnesty have an agenda to tarnish the US military because they hate Murka and because they are sodomites, so they don't do any fact-checking and believe the first thing their fellow blood-thirsty "terrests" tell them.
