Pants on fire

Can anybody believe a word that Condoleezza Rice says? Just the fact that she says that the United States does not ship terror suspects around Europe to secret prison camps makes me believe that the United States ships terror suspects around Europe to secret prison camps. But then, what difference does it make if we do or don't, when we torture suspects on our own bases like Guantanamo Bay (where we hold detainees indefinitely without charging them, which seems just as underhanded as shuttling them around to secret bases)?

Rice says the U.S. does not countenance the torture of terror suspects at the hands of American or foreign captors, but that is a documented LIE LIE LIE!

And then she says - and this is my favorite - that Europeans shouldn't criticize the U.S. about secret jails (that don't exist) for terror suspects because interrogations of these suspects have produced information that has saved European lives. OK, putting aside the fact that interrogations of these subjects also led to information about WMDs in Iraq that misguided us into war, it sounds to me like she's saying, "Quit complaining about that thing I didn't do, because by doing it I was able to help you out."

Seriously, if the woman walked up to me and said "Nice day, isn't it?" I'd run for cover.
