Challenging Cheney

1. Challenging Cheney...


"It doesn't matter whether he takes Amnesty International seriously;
he doesn't take torture seriously;
he doesn't take the Geneva Convention seriously;
he doesn't take due process seriously;
and he doesn't take Internatonal Law seriously!"

A statement made by William Schultz, Executive Director of Amnesty International USA,
in response to VP. Dick Cheney's comment that he wasn't putting much weight on Amnesty's criticism of US treatment of detainees at Guantanamo Bay.



2. "We owe respect to the living, to the dead we owe only truth!"
(Voltaire, Oeuvres VolI, P.15)
