Stung by Amnesty International's condemnation of U.S. detention facilities in Iraq and elsewhere overseas, the administration of President George W. Bush is reacting with indignation and even suggestions that terrorists are using the world's largest human rights organization.
''For Amnesty International to suggest that somehow the United States is a violator of human rights, I frankly just don't take them seriously,'
-Dick Cheney
''I'm aware of the Amnesty International report, and it's absurd. The United States is a country that promotes freedom around the world,''
-George W. Bush
''It seemed like (Amnesty) based some of their decisions on the word and allegations by people who were held in detention, people who hate America, people had been trained in some instances to disassemble (sic) -- that means not tell the truth.....And so it was an absurd report. It just is''.
-George W. Bush
