Scott McClellan chimes in from Bizarroworld

As pressure builds for the White House to stop equivocating and take a firm stand against the use of torture, renditioning, and secret CIA prisons, White House Spokesmonkey Scott McClellan decides to try another play from the Soviet handbook and declare that up is down:

MR. McCLELLAN: No, I said consistent with our laws and our treaty obligations. The President has made it very clear that we do not torture, he would never condone torture or authorize the use of torture. If someone doesn't abide by our laws, they're held accountable, and we have done that.

That's the difference between us and others. When it comes to human rights, there is no greater leader than the United States of America, and we show that by holding people accountable when they break the law or they violate human rights. And we show that by supporting the advance of freedom and democracy and supporting those in countries that are having their human rights denied or violated, like North Korea. We show that by liberating people in Afghanistan and Iraq, some 50 million people. And no one has done more when it comes to human rights than the United States of America.
