Kudos To The Kids

Pretty gutsy, at least compared to the Washington couture class:

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.
Right. I'm sure the kids walked away convinced by Bush that we don't torture. These kids are, indeed, scholars of the first order.
