This debate is occurring because of, umm, the Supreme Court's
ruling that said that, uhh, we must conduct ourselves under the
Common Article III of the Geneva Convention. And that Common
Article III says that there, you know, will be no outrages upon
human dignity. Uhh, it's, uhh, it's, it's a, like, it's very vague.
What does that mean? Outrages upon human dignity. Tha, tha, that's
a statement that, uhh, is, is wide open to interpretation.

to him, we're a lot worse off than we all feared. White House, Sep.

I would hope people aren't trying to rewrite the history of Saddam
Hussein -- all of a sudden, he becomes kind of a benevolent fellow.
He's a dangerous man. And one of the reasons he was declared a
state sponsor of terror was because that's what he was. He harbored
terrorists. He paid for families of suicide bombers. Never have I
said that Saddam Hussein gave orders to attack 9/11.
-- Apparently "9/11" has been attacked... White House, Sep. 15,

There -- it's -- you know, one of the hardest parts of my job is to
connect Iraq to the war on terror.
-- Yes, we've been noticing... Interview with Katie Couric (CBS
News), White House, Sep. 6, 2006
In some cases, we determine that individuals we have captured pose
a significant threat, or may have intelligence that we and our
allies need to have to prevent new attacks. Many are al Qaeda
operatives or Taliban fighters trying to conceal their identities,
and they withhold information that could save American lives. In
these cases, it has been necessary to move these individuals to an
environment where they can be held secretly, questioned by experts,
and -- when appropriate -- prosecuted for terrorist acts.
-- The White House website marked "secretly" with the [sic]
notation, so apparently Dubya was supposed to say "securely" or
something else less accurate than what he said. White House, Sep.

I'll explain the strategy we're pursuing to protect America, by
defeating the terrorists on the battlefield, and defeating their
hateful ideology in the battle of ideas. The terrorists who
attacked us on September the 11th, 2001, are men without conscience
-- but they're not madmen. They kill in the name of a clear and
focused ideology, a set of beliefs that are evil, but not
insane.
-- Speaking in direct contradiction with statements he's made at
least four times in the past, Washington, D.C., Sep. 5, 2006
It's important to have members of the United States Senate who
understand the call of history and are willing to stand strong in
the face of an enemy who is relenting.
-- Wrong word, Dubya. This one means the opposite of what you were
probably trying to say. Salt Lake City, Utah, Aug. 31, 2006
