Q Talking about the photo of torture and abused prisoners. The First Lady said, this is unbearable. The moral leadership of a President is his highest power of all. Do you feel responsible in any way for this moral failure in Iraq?
THE PRESIDENT: First of all, I feel responsible for letting the world see that we will deal with this in a transparent way, that people will see that justice will be delivered. And what I regret most of all is that the great honor of our country has been stained by the actions of a few people, the first of whom is going to jail, or has been tried and convicted, and will be sentenced. Please correct that -- I'm not going to deem the sentences; been tried and convicted, in an open way, for people to see, which stands in stark contrast to a tyrannical society in which prison abuse would never even come forth in the first place.

The Party of Justice and Loving the Troops...
In a very snippy interview with Paris Match (found at the White House site), Bush tosses his soldiers in jail before they're even sentenced. Nice.
