Bu*h's history of prison abuse

[DU9598]

How ironic that prison abuse occurred in Texas under his watch.

"The people in Iraq must understand that I view those practices as abhorrent. They must also understand that what took place in that prison does not represent America that I know. The America I know is a compassionate country that believes in freedom. The America I know cares about every individual."
-- Pres. George W. Bush, in May 5, 2004 interview with Alhurra television network about prisoner abuse in Abu Ghraib prison, Iraq

"I think 'appalling' is the right way to describe the treatment of those prisoners. As I understand, the DA is calling in the FBI and the state of Texas will fully cooperate with any investigation.... I think in retrospect had I known the videotape existed, and I'm confident had other state officials known the videotape existed, we would have pushed for harsher action, quicker action."
-- Gov. George W. Bush, in August 1997 interview with Fox television affiliate in Austin about prisoner abuse scandal in Brazoria County, Texas

1. Saw Nightline last night and was

amazed and the similarities between the abuses and torture executed in the Texan judicial system under *'s watch and the very same violations (and far worse) occuring in Abu Graib.

This is a scandalous affront to human dignity, and I hope to god it has legs and exposes * for his utter ignorance of the rule of law.

This is so bloody wrong.

Hope this exposure has legs.
