Not all of President George W. Bush's remarks in Kigali, Rwanda, need to be deconstructed. Sometimes the dead moose on the table is right there in the surface structure. Consider the following comment that Bush made, reported by Associated Press presumably on that same occasion of his visit to the Kigali Memorial Centre, with reference to conditions in Cuba:
It just breaks your heart to realize that people have been thrown in prisons because they dare speak out.
Yes, my heart aches for such people, particularly those imprisoned in Cuba at Guantanamo Bay, many of whom are there simply because there efforts to "speak out" caused them to be identified as "persons of interest." I suppose this just demonstrates that those with a strong sense of faith have absolutely no sense of irony!
