Just saw Bush on the news condemning the Iranians for taking the British sailors hostage. Bush said they had no right to summarily pluck these innocent people out of the water and hold them, and they must be released immediately.
Huh?
Isn't this the same guy who authorized CIA grab-and-bag operations and extraordinary rendition? Is he aware that 90% of the prisoners at Abu Ghraib were picked up in random sweeps? Has he heard of the Tipton Three, who spent a couple of years in Guantanamo for being in the wrong place at the wrong time?
It's weird to see a guy with such obvious contempt for international law and human rights crying foul on those rules, and it illustrates one of the many problems with his actions. The rest of the world must be laughing at his moralizing.
