Well I am sure everyone heard the news that:
Bush Calls Freedom from Torture "Inalienable Human Right"
http://usinfo.state.gov/xarchives/display.html?p=washfile-english&y=2005&m=June&x=20050SPAMSPAMSPAM155951521elootom0.6794702&t=livefeeds/wf-latest.html
Unfortunatly these are just feel good lip service so Americans can continue sticking the fingers in their ears and pretending everything is fine.
There are many examples of how the Bush administration has violated the "Inalienable Human Rights" of thousands of people.
First theres the outsourcing of torture through redition, otherwise known as kidnapping. The US, via BushCo is actually promoting torture in other countries because they wish they could practice such here. http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/articles/050214fa_fact6
Numerous accounts fo torture have been documented at both Abu G and Gitmo. Of course the US admits to such but only under the premise that it was just "a few bad apples." and of course no investigation is needed, just trust them...

That is not the end of it either. This is happening in other jails around Iraq and in Afgahnistan as well.

Lets not forget that US attorney General Alberto Gonzalas specifically said that torturing such people was OK since he didn't consider them POWs. Rumfeld called for numerous torture techniques including 'stress positions.' Also don't forget that FBI emails indicate that the torture was from an "Executive Order", something only Bush could have approved. http://www.aclu.org/SafeandFree/SafeandFree.cfm?ID=17216&c=206
Also (unreported in the US) the orginal military commander of Gitmo was dismissed by the pentagon for being "too soft on detainees" http://www.guardian.co.uk/guantanamo/story/0,13743,1219887,00.html
These same torture tactics have been used in Central and South America for decades by right-wing death squads armed and trained by the US at the School of the Americas in Fort Benning, Georgia.http://www.laweekly.com/ink/04/35/news-ireland.php
Most disturbing of all is that the SOA is still open and operating. Pumping out torturers for tommorrows world.
To make things even more bleak the man who intentionally covered up all torture and murder in those areas, John Negroponte, is now the 'intelligence czar' of the US. Lets not forget that he was also the Ambassador to Iraq when all this sick shit was going down. Coincidence?
If thats not enough it happens right here in the US as well. A recent BBC investigation exposes that the same things happen here. http://www.november.org/stayinfo/breaking3/TortureInc.html
And then you have the mainstream mouth peices of the republican party followers excusing such violations of human rights:

So when is the administration gonna really oppose torture and do the following:
Shut down the SOA.
Investigate any and all torture alligations, foreign and domestic as well as severely punishing those responsible, instead of maintaining a facade of such.
Immediatly end all aid to any contry which practices torture.
Stop all practices of outsourcing torture (rendition)
Until then this is nothing but feel good lipservice. I hope you'll enjoy being lied to for the sake of egotism. and it is impossible to deny that:
Torture is an American Value
