Matthew 7:5, the King James Version, states: “Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye”. Change “Thou hypocrite” to “George W. Bush”, and you have the best advice anyone could offer to this American President.
For the president of our country to condemn the human rights abuses of any other sovereign nation, while sanctioning the American torture practices of Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo and any number of covert CIA detention centers around the world- not to mention what happens to the victims of our extreme rendition policy-is beyond hypocritical. Imagine Ted Bundy criticizing the Green River Killer for being a barbaric killer. Wouldn’t your first reaction be, “Look who’s talking!”
That’s right, America. Look carefully at who is talking.
