PM Carpenter: Hellfire and Damnation--In Writing

A couple of short quotes said it all.

White House spokesman Scott McClellan, after labeling Amnesty International’s just-released, scathing report on U.S. human rights violations as “ridiculous,” said "we hold people accountable when there's abuse.”

Retired military judge Kevin Barry said in response to this standard White House swill: “We have so much evidence of abuse in so many locations that to say it's a couple of bad people here or there has lost credibility with the public."

Since 2001 we’ve lived in two radically different worlds -- that of George W. Bush’s official fantasies, and that of reality. The first, having long since surpassed Wizard of Ooze dimensions, has indeed “lost credibility with the public” and is fading rapidly.
