Oops, Our Mistake

The International Red Cross said today that they've been telling the military for months - and the military supposedly admitted - that up to 90% of the detainees held in conditions like that at Abu Ghraib have done nothing wrong; they just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and got dragged in.

So not only did we torture them, there was no reason for 9 out of 10 Iraqis to be detained at all.

Yet, said Mr. Bush today, "Mr. Rumsfeld has done a superb job." Mr. Cheney over the weekend said Mr. Rumsfeld was the best secretary of defense in the history of the U.S.

Vote for these two men, and it's a vote for the complete dismantlement of the American values we claim to hold so dearly.
