[Marxism] "disassemble, that means not tell the truth"



I was wondering what that meant.
___________

QUESTION: Mr. President, recently Amnesty International said you have
established, quote, a new gulag of prisons around the world beyond the
reach of the law and decency.

I'd like your reaction to that, and also your assessment of how it came
to this -- that that is a view not just held by extremists and
anti-Americans, but by groups that have allied themselves with the
United States government in the past, and what the strategic impact is
that in many places in the world the United States these days under
your leadership is no longer seen as the good guy.

BUSH: I'm aware of the Amnesty International report, and it's absurd.
It's an absurd allegation.

The United States is a country that promotes freedom around the world.
When there's accusations made about certain actions by our people,
they're fully investigated in a transparent way.

It's just an absurd allegation.

In terms of, you know, the detainees, we've had thousands of people
detained. We've investigated every single complaint against the
detainees.

It seemed like to me they based some of their decisions on the word of
and the allegations by people that were held in detention, people who
hate America, people that have been trained in some instances to
disassemble, that means not tell the truth.

BUSH: And so it was an absurd report. It just is.
