Disconnect

"America stands in firm opposition to China's detention of political dissidents, human rights advocates and religious activists. We speak out for a free press, freedom of assembly and labor rights -- not to antagonize China's leaders, but because trusting its people with greater freedom is the only way for China to develop its full potential."
--George Bush, 8/6/08, on China

"Even if he were acquitted of the charges that are before him, he would still be considered an enemy combatant and therefore would continue to be subject to continued detention."
--Pentagon Spokesman Jeff Morell, 8/5/08 on the Hamdan Tribunal

America. Land of the Free, Home of the Brave.
