REPORTER: I mean, you've talked a lot about freedom. I've heard you talk about freedom -- I think every time I've seen you.

REPORTER: I mean, you've talked a lot about freedom. I've heard you talk about freedom -- I think every time I've seen you.
GEORGE W. BUSH: Yes.
REPORTER: And yet there are those who would say, look, let's take Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib and rendition and all those things, and to them that is the, you know, the complete opposite of freedom.
GEORGE W. BUSH: Of course if you want to slander America, you can look at it one way. But you go down -- what you need to do -- I think I suggested you do this at a press conference -- if you go down to Guantanamo and take a look at how these prisoners are treated -- and they're working it through our court systems. We are a land of law.
REPORTER: But the Supreme Court have just said that -- you know, ruled against what you've been doing down there.
GEORGE W. BUSH: But the district court didn't. And the appellate court didn't.
REPORTER: The Supreme Court is supreme, isn't it?
GEORGE W. BUSH: It is, and I accept their verdict. I don't agree with their verdict. And it's not what I was doing down there. This was a law passed by our United States Congress that I worked with the Congress to get passed and sign into law.
REPORTER: But it looked like an attempt to bypass the Constitution, to a certain extent.
GEORGE W. BUSH: This was a law passed, Adam. We passed a law. Bypassing the Constitution means that we did something outside the bounds of the Constitution. We went to the Congress and got a piece of legislation passed.
REPORTER: Which is now being struck down, I think.
GEORGE W. BUSH: It is, and I accept what the Supreme Court did, and I necessarily don't have to agree with it.
My only point to you is, is that yes, I mean, we certainly wish Abu Ghraib hadn't happened, but that should not reflect America. This was the actions of some soldiers.

Kennyboy: re "g.beck calls for a nuke attack on U.S."
Check my videos or search YouTube. I have one of the two versions with Michael Scheuer calling for a nuke attack (for Osama to detonate a major weapon on an American city) and Beck laughingly agreeing with him.
Jon Stewart played back the clip on his show for the whole world to see.
Dennis Prager also suggested an attack on the US would be good, ditto Jon Gibson with Sykowsky, Brian Kilmeade, Rumsfeld to his aides, and others.
kenfo0l, Since youre not an idiot, why cant you google Republican Senate Policy Committee and, add words from the next paragraph like Iran, Kosovo, Bosnia.
LOCATE the report yrself, fo0!
sponsoring Islamic Radical TERRORISTS in the late 70s in order to PROVOKE the USSR to RESPOND militarily (per Brzezinski), you accept that as OK.
The Repub report is from LATE 90s, post-USSR, long after "Al-Qaeda" blamed for bombings. Similar reports in July 01 from Macedonia President. Theres more details.
Loser: weeks later you continue your shrill whining, unable to back up your "facts" with a simple source. It is not my problem to find your source. You have plenty of time to prattle inanely and tell me what I need to do, but can't source your own "facts". run along boy, you are not interesting....not even a little bit.
jackass, the fact you spam on and on with your shrill whining, and demands that I look up sources for your nonsensical prattling speaks volumes, as does the idea that one cannot post a url.....even a simple person can figure out how to get around YT's policy. Guess that makes you a little dumber than....a pretty dumb guy.
yeah the new sock puppet who is for INDEFINATE DETENTION (PRECRIME ! ) and continues all of boosh's policies.... ALL OF THEM what chayyynge? zero , nill, zip, nada, nix, no
