Presidential Scholars confront President

Posted by Drew at 3:20 pm

My friend, Jeff Rosen, was among 50 Presidential Scholars who presented President Bush with a signed letter protesting “violations of the human rights” of terror suspects when they met with him earlier this week.

After reading the letter, President Bush denied that the United States practices torture.

The letter began, “We have been told that we represent the best and brightest of our nation. Therefore, we believe we have a responsibility to voice our convictions. We do not want America to represent torture.”

All of us at Blue State Coffee applaud the Presidential Scholars for their courage and conviction.
