Abuse Sounds Better Than Torture

This is funny...and I think liar sounds better than mis-leader.

Administration thinks abuse sounds better than torture: "It was a strange week to be in the United States. In Washington, Ahmad Chalabi, one of Iraq's three deputy prime ministers, turned up to show how clean his hands were. I had to remind myself constantly that Chalabi was convicted in absentia in Jordan of massive bank fraud. It was Chalabi who supplied New York Times reporter Judith Miller with all the false information about Saddam's weapons of mass destruction. It was Chalabi's fellow defectors who persuaded the Bush administration that these weapons existed. It was Chalabi who was accused only last year of giving U.S. intelligence secrets to Iran. It is Chalabi who is still being investigated by the FBI.

But Chalabi spoke to the right-wing American Enterprise Institute in Washington, refused to make the slightest apology to the United States, and then went on to meetings with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and national security adviser Stephen Hadley. Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld also agreed to see him."
