Who Said It?

April 28th, 2009

This opinion is given on what we should do about torture:

“The United States is committed to the worldwide elimination of torture and we are leading this fight by example. I call on all governments to join with the United States and the community of law-abiding nations in prohibiting, investigating, and prosecuting all acts of torture and in undertaking to prevent other cruel and unusual punishment.”

Is it too easy to guess who said this?

In case it’s not, the answer is below the fold.George W. Bush, June 26, 2003.

At the same time, Defense Department general counsel William J. Haynes II, released a letter saying that

the U.S. promise of good behavior goes beyond a prohibition on torture to encompass “cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.”

What’s the old saying? “Do as I say, not as I do”?
