Lies? They Can't Even Keep Their "Truths" Straight!



I've already thanked Daily Kos for pointing out the administration's Flip-Flop on Amnesty International.

In 2003 Donald Rumsfeld suggested that "a careful reading of Amnesty International" would be convincing cause to go to war in Iraq. Today, Rumsfeld called the Amnesty indictments of Gitmo "outrageous charges," and went on to say that any organization making such statements clearly has no "claim to objectivity or seriousness."

What I can't take seriously is anyone still in power who claimed in 2002 (of US military action in Iraq):
"It could last six days, six weeks. I doubt six months."

P.S. That photo above is a violation of the Geneva convention... just sayin'
