Edwards Statement on Saudi Rape Victim's Sentence
Edwards Statement on Saudi Rape Victim's Sentence
John Edwards for President
Wednesday, November 21, 2007
----
Chapel Hill, North Carolina – Today, Senator John Edwards released the following statement:

“Today’s news that a Saudi Arabian court has chosen to punish the victim of a gang rape is an appalling breach of the most fundamental human rights. I am outraged that President Bush has refused to condemn the sentence. We need a president who will reengage with the world and restore our moral authority - only then will we be able to lead other nations in protecting the basic rights and human dignity of every person on this planet.”

5. Why would Bush condemn his friends?
Everyone knows the BFEE and the House of Saud are the very best of friends. Chimpy wouldn't lift a finger to thwart them in any way.
