Rendering freedom and liberty

Dear Leader addresses the nation:

We will encourage reform in other governments by making clear that success in our relations will require the decent treatment of their own people. America's belief in human dignity will guide our policies, yet rights must be more than the grudging concessions of dictators; they are secured by free dissent and the participation of the governed. In the long run, there is no justice without freedom, and there can be no human rights without human liberty.

Well, before we encourage reform we'll take this opportunity to render prisoners we're holding in Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay to countries like Egypt and Saudi Arabia where we'll encourage that they be tortured into giving up information for the GWOT.

Jeanne at Body and Soul reads the inaugural address and notes that it begins with a bald-faced lie.
