US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales today defended the Bush Administration's handling of detainees, terror suspects, and enemy combatants.
"The U.S. abhors torture and categorically rejects its use," Gonzales said.
This is a big relief for me, because I could have sworn that I'd heard some stories recently of acts that certainly appeared to be torture.
For example:
[here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here], [here].
Um... I dunno, there may be others.
I also recall Dick Cheney strongly advocating torture... um where was that?
Well, it's extraordinary news, and comes as a great relief.
Apparently, Mr. Gonzales didn't stop there, but went on to list a number of other abhorrent practices.
Barry Bonds "abhors" Steroids.
Paris Hilton "abhors" internet porn.
Dogs apparently "abhor" burying bones
David Duke "abhors" racism
Donalt Trump "abhors" money.
Osama Bin Laden "abhors" violent extremism.
Fred Phelps "abhors" gay bashing and bestiality.
Emeril "abhors" cooking.
Harvey Firestein "abhors" musicals.
Chris Rock "abhors" cussin'.
oh and this just in... Fish "abhor" water.
I'm glad Mr. Gonzales stepped in to clear that up. What a relief!
Meanwhile, I "abhor" listening to my government lie to me day in and day out while eliminating my rights, selling my children into wage servitude, damning the future to environmental apocalypse thanks to global warming, and turning the world against us by mistaking might for right.
Well, I abhor it, but I do it every day; as do we all.
