WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush has condemned the apparent mistreatment of some Iraqi prisoners, saying, "Their treatment does not reflect the nature of the American people. That’s not the way we do things in America. I didn’t like it one bit."

He was asked about photos showing Iraqi prisoners naked except for hoods covering their heads, stacked in a human pyramid, one with a slur written in English on his skin. That and other scenes of humiliation have led to criminal charges against six American soldiers. Arab television stations were leading their newscasts on Friday with the photos.

"I share a deep disgust that those prisoners were treated the way they were treated," Bush said.

There currently are 138,000 U.S. troops in Iraq and 24,900 troops from coalition countries.

Bush made his comments in the White House Rose Garden after a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin.
OK, boys...cingold, Anon1, sludj, rest of RB gang: Here it is!
You wanted the President to address this personally and he did!
The Left will still keep harping on it and self-proclaimed "moderates" (closet Leftists) will still profess outrage (because in their minds, nothing the United States does can be any good, especially anything done by our military), but our Commander in Chief is now making sure that something is being done to correct and punish this abuse for all the world to see and hear.
Bush is the best!
