Do as I say, not as I do

Besides just the basic human decency required to admit that torture is, you know, bad, here is yet another example of the incredibly frustrating double-speak the pro-torture crowd likes to employ, by way of a Presidential Proclamation issued by President Bush in 2003.

The highlight:

The United States is committed to the world-wide elimination of torture and we are leading this fight by example. I call on all governments to join with the United States and the community of law-abiding nations in prohibiting, investigating, and prosecuting all acts of torture

The italics are mine. The mortifying disgust and horror are also mine.
