The US attorney general is a liar

Just stands right up there and lies, blatant, in your face lying. Says we abhor torture and respect the rights of detainees. Of course we don't, since we *do* torture and we give detainees no rights. But that doesn't stop us from lying about it.

Also says we don't snatch people off the streets of other countries and send them to get tortured, even though we just paid some German dude $300,000 for doing exactly that to him. Doesn't matter what we, you know, actually do, as long as we just say that we don't.

Also said we never used European airports, or anyone elses airports for that matter, to move detainees to other countries to be tortured. Even though, you know, we did. But as long as we *say* we didn't, then it's the truth.

Also says that he's aware of "no other country in history" that has offorded 'enemy combatants' procedural protections like those we offer our 'detainees.' Of course, failing to mention that no other country in history has relied on the 'enemy combatant' designation to the extent that we are isn't really relavent, no need to pay attention to that fact at all, really. Just trust us when we say it.

The US attorney general, the nations top law official, charged with protecting the people and their rights. Not just working for the president, he's emplyed by the people themselves to ensure that the president follows the law. And he's a lying mother fucker. Blatant, in your face, bombs going off behind him ala' Baghdad Bob lying mother fuckre.

By every international standard of law, many of them treaties that we have signed, and by any definition of our own, we *have* tortured people. We have snatched them off the streets in the dead of night and flown them to other countries to be tortured. We've tortured by our own hands. These facts are not indisputable, they are, simply facts.

But that doesn't stop our attorney general from lying, repeatedly, over and over. But then, he's just doing his job.
