George W. Bush

Bush administration is suing U.S. POWs

This is insane! For the love of all that was once good in this country, send this story to every Bush-apologist you know. The LA Times:

WASHINGTON — The latest chapter in the legal history of torture is being written by American pilots who were beaten and abused by Iraqis during the 1991 Persian Gulf War. And it has taken a strange twist.

The Bush administration is fighting the former prisoners of war in court, trying to prevent them from collecting nearly $1 billion from Iraq that a federal judge awarded them as compensation for their torture at the hands of Saddam Hussein's regime.

Can I have one Bush-apologist volunteer who can explain to me how the fucking hell Bush "supports the troops"?
