Students Confront Bush On Torture

Sometimes it takes someone with a young energetic voice to speak truth to power. A group of High School scholars met with the President today and one of them handed him a letter in which she asked him to stop the torture of detainees and cease illegal renditions.

Bush replied with his same lie, "we do not torture people". The student responded with specific points detailing how we do torture and Bush was unable to reply.

From the mouths of babes, or in this case teenagers. Perhaps there is hope for our country after all. Alternet has the video.
