Bush Lives in a Glass Fantasy House

While meeting with Putin yesterday, Bush told a press conference:

I live in a transparent country. I live in a country where decisions made by government are wide open and people are able to call people to me to account, which many out here do on a regular basis.

Our laws and the reasons why we have laws on the books are perfectly explained to people. Every decision we have made is within the Constitution of the United States. We have a constitution that we uphold.

And if there’s a question as to whether or not a law meets that constitution, we have an independent court system through which that law is reviewed.

So I’m perfectly comfortable in telling you, our country is one that safeguards human rights and human dignity, and we resolve our disputes in a peaceful way.

He neglected to point out, of course, that he’s doing everything in his power to make our society as secretive as possible.
