Hypocrisy of the highest order

"The United States is committed to the worldwide elimination of torture and we are leading this fight by example." President Bush on UN Torture Victims Recognition Day 26 June 2003

"We do not torture." President Bush to reporters during a visit to Panama in November 2005

"I'm aware our national security team met on this issue. And I approved ... I told the country we did that. And I also told them it was legal. We had legal opinions that enabled us to do it." President Bush in an interview with ABC about interrogation tactics used on detainees in April 2008

The above came from Information Clearing House daily emails. The only question that remains is will Obama follow in his footsteps?
