The Truth Hurts
From the AP:

WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney says he's offended by a human rights group's report criticizing conditions at the prison camp for terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay.

The report Amnesty International released last week said prisoners at the U.S. Navy base in Cuba had been mistreated and called for the prison to be shut down. Cheney derided the London-based group in an interview set to be broadcast Monday night on CNN's "Larry King Live."

"Frankly, I was offended by it," Cheney said in the videotaped interview. "For Amnesty International to suggest that somehow the United States is a violator of human rights, I frankly just don't take them seriously."

Interesting that Amnesty International was a respected organization when it left us alone. Now that we've been added to this list, all of a sudden, the organization isn't to be taken seriously. Sounds like crap to me, Dick. Frankly, I find it offensive to have my country on a list that also includes Rwanda, Sudan, Nigeria, Cuba, El Salvador, China, Bangladesh, Albania, and Turkey, just to name a few.

If we are indeed a "culture of life", wouldn't it make sense to start respecting lives? Torture is a very serious charge. When there is proof that we will likely not stop torturing prisoners any time soon, I think one could argue that we don't give a damn about human life and therefore we deserve to be listed with the rest of the world's villains
