Remember People What we say is the Opposite of what we Mean

“We do not torture,” Bush declared in response to reports of secret CIA prisons overseas.

“It was clear to me there that there was a visible audit trail from the vice president’s office through the secretary of defense down to the commanders in the field,” said Lawrence Wilkerson
Wilkerson said the view of Cheney’s office was put in “carefully couched” terms but that to a soldier in the field it meant sometimes using interrogation techniques that “were not in accordance with the spirit of the Geneva Conventions and the law of war.” He said he no longer has access to the paperwork.
Cheney spokeswoman Jennifer Mayfield declined to comment on Wilkerson’s remarks.

US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice yesterday denied that CIA "ghost flights" landing on British soil are used to smuggle terror suspects to torture centres.
The flights have landed at UK airports including Glasgow, Prestwick and Edinburgh.
Rice insisted the US did not permit torture. But she refused to confirm that the CIA operated secret prisons in "black sites" across Eastern Europe...

Khaled al-Masri, who is being represented by the American Civil Liberties Union, said he was arrested while attempting to enter Macedonia for a holiday trip and flown to Afghanistan. During five months in captivity he was subjected to “torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment,” says a lawsuit he filed in U.S. District Court in suburban Alexandria, Va.
So remember that when these Bush administration officials say ANYTHING the opposite is the truth.
