President Bush on Abu Ghraib

Quote of the Day: President Bush

(RNS) "Abu Ghraib: I believe that really hurt us. It hurt us internationally. It kind of eased us off the moral high ground; we weren't a country that was capable of, on the one hand, promoting democracy and then treating people decently."

-- President Bush, responding to a reporter's question at a White House news conference on Wednesday (Oct. 11) about torture at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.
