absurd

AP reports:
President Bush on Tuesday dismissed a human rights report as "absurd" for its harsh criticism of U.S. treatment of terrorist suspects at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, saying the allegations were made by prisoners "who hate America."

"It's an absurd allegation. The United States is a country that promotes freedom around the world," Bush said of the Amnesty International report that compared Guantanamo to a Soviet-era gulag.
check out the amnesty international report on the u.s. for yourself. almost all of the criticism of guantanamo and other american detention facilities is based upon what the u.s. government itself has acknowledged, not upon any allegations of american-hating prisoners.
