50 Real Americans
The 50 Presidential Scholars brought to the White House to be used as props for another inane set of remarks from Our Dear Embattled Leader. Instead they gave him a letter they had written about matters of deep concern to them.
UPDATE: MoDo adds some more to the story.
The handwritten letter said the students "believe we have a responsibility to voice our convictions."ODEL poo-poohed their concerns with a pious "the United States does not torture and that we value human rights" according to the mouthpiece of the day. And after the ceremony, he promptly called Uncle Dickwahd and asked that the kids be sent to Gitmo. Uncle Dickwahd just laughed at the petulant little boy.
"We do not want America to represent torture. We urge you to do all in your power to stop violations of the human rights of detainees, to cease illegal renditions, and to apply the Geneva Convention to all detainees, including those designated enemy combatants," the letter said.
