Hint: It wasn't a thank-you note

WASHINGTON -- President Bush was presented with a letter Monday signed by 50 high school seniors in the Presidential Scholars program urging a halt to "violations of the human rights" of terror suspects held by the United States.
The White House said Bush had not expected the letter but took a moment to read it and talk with a young woman who handed it to him.
"The president enjoyed a visit with the students, accepted the letter and upon reading it let the student know that the United States does not torture and that we value human rights," deputy press secretary Dana Perino said.


Sure. Whatever. The kids sure look convinced.

It says something that those 50 kids didn't sell out for their medals, unlike Tenet, Bremer, and Franks.
