President Bush says he knew his top national security advisers discussed and approved specific details about how high-value al Qaeda suspects would be interrogated by the Central Intelligence Agency, according to an exclusive interview with ABC News Friday.

Look at painting by Randy South, "Trick Cyclist" in response to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
The text with the artwork is:
Article 5
No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. The world is in darkness. Torture, degrading treatment and punishment are widespread; used by pseudo-scientists through authoritarian means at the behest of international drug companies and suppressive governments degrade, enslave and diminish the spiritual awareness of man.
Their goal CONTROL.
Their motivation WEALTH.
The only choice is to enlighten every man, woman and child of Earth that they have the human right to be free.
