Guantanamo is Bush's lack of character.

What Bush is doing in Guantanamo is telling of the man's complete lack of character, a deficiency he has by extention imposed upon our great nation as a whole.

This press briefing at the White House between press secretary McClellan and long time reporter Helen Thomas somewhat humorously shows how Bush is playing the hypocrite. Part of the exchange is about holding prisoners indefinitely without ever charging them. Part is about the Geneva Conventions. The rest is McClellan squirming with his vague language to not tell the truth.

But the crux is this: Bush insists two things. One, that the U.S. is adhering to Geneva Conventions regarding Guantanamo prisoners. And two, that the U.S. does not have to adhere to Geneva Conventions because the terrorists do not adhere to them.

By Bush logic (an oxymoron, I know), the police do not have to obey the law because criminals don't obey the law. To Bush, the 4th, 5th, and 6th amendments only apply to people who DON'T get accused of a crime. Huh?

This goes to the heart of Bush's lack of character. Simply put, law-abiding people obey the law EVEN when it's not to their advantage. Good people do the right thing, period. This USED to be one of America's finest qualities. But that was back before the dark times, before the reign of Bush.

Thanks to Bush's lack of character, America is guilty of not living up to the standards we once set for ourselves and set for the rest of the world. There is no rule of law. There is only the King's Will.

I never thought Slick Willy would look so good. I guess it took someone as low as Bush to achieve it.
