Interview of the President by Al Arabiya Television

My thoughts on some of the statements:
"I want to tell the people of the Middle East that the practices that took place in that prison are abhorrent and they don't represent America"
Jerry Springer show? Take the average values shown on American TV and this behavior unfortunately does represent the worst of America...

"it's important for people to understand that in a democracy that there will be a full investigation. In other words, we want to know the truth. "
These abuses were reported by the Red Cross MONTHS ago. Nothing was done until someone finally went public with photos.. And the Pres STILL has NOT READ all the reports.

"there will be a full investigation and justice will be delivered"
Many of the abuses were committed by our mercenaries (not our soldiers) and are thereby "outside" of any law. We set a precedent in Guantanamo when our Pres and cronies decided to do away with the Geneva Convention, the Constitution, or any "Rule of Law" except perhaps the "law of the jungle"...

"the people in Fallujah are tired of foreign fighters and radicals and extremists preventing them from living a normal life"
So does that mean we're getting out???

"still Mr. Sadr in defense with U.S., how do you think this person should be dealt with?

THE PRESIDENT: I think he ought to be dealt with by the Iraqi citizens who are getting tired of him occupying the holiest of holy sites. And
we are very respectful for the holy sites in Iraq, we understand their importance to the Iraqi citizens. Mr. Sadr is occupying those sites as if they're his, and I think the Iraqi citizens are getting tired of that. "
He's the cleric for the mosque and his followers... We bombed the mosque and abused and disrespected the people???

"Free societies do not allow thugs to roam streets and hold people hostage to their whims"
That's a nice thought... so we're going to repeal the "Patriot Act", give the hostages in Guantanamo justice and spend our resources dealing with the thugs in our streets?
