George Bush Lies Again

No surprise there. It's just that his lies are so bad, and so obvious. In his "Abu Grabby" speech the other night, he claimed that the torture of prisoners in Abu Ghraib was done "by a few American troops who disregarded our country and disregarded our values."

Well of course that's just not true.

I get the feeling that the Army has been taking notes from several Catholic dioceses in this country. If something bad happens, lie, evade, and transfer personnel. For god's sakes, though, don't actually do anything about it outside of the barest minimum of grudging public contrition. You can read all about it here in the NYT. Just one more thing: "The cases from Iraq date back to April 15, 2003...and they extend up to last month."

I'm proud to be an American. Aren't you?
