Apparently, hypocrisy is so cool, even President Bush is doing it.
On whether covers photos of Saddam Hussein in his underwear publish in the NY Post and The Sun (both owned by Rupert Murdoch) might further inflame violence in Iraq: "I don't think a photo inspires murderers... These people are motivated by a vision of the world that is backward and barbaric." (via The Light of Reason)
While a small Newsweek story on previously reported and well-known rumors of Quran abuse in US prisons, according to his spokesman, "has done damage to our image abroad and it has done damage to the credibility of the media and Newsweek in particular. People have lost lives. This report has had serious consequences."
Threatening to veto a stem cell research bill that passed the Senate and may pass the House: "I made [it] very clear to the Congress that the use of federal money, taxpayers' money, to promote science which destroys life in order to save life, I'm against that."
Meanwhile, hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars have gone to prosecute an war which has destroyed tens of thousands of lives in order to bring "freedom" to Iraqis and save them from the human rights abuses of a dictator. But he's not against that.
