Quick Takes on Gitmo
Here are comments by General Richard Meyers, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Vice President Dick Cheney regarding the ridiculous allegations of torture asserted by Amnesty International:
General Myers:
I think [the Amnesty report] is irresponsible . . . absolutely irresponsible.
Vice President Cheney:
Frankly, I was offended by it, Cheney said in the videotaped interview. For Amnesty International to suggest that somehow the United States is a violator of human rights, I frankly just don’t take them seriously.
. . .
Occasionally there are allegations of mistreatment, Cheney said. But if you trace those back, in nearly every case, it turns out to come from somebody who had been inside and released to their home country and now are peddling lies about how they were treated.
Irresponsible, offensive, and lacking credibility. Amnesty International. Yep.
