Bush commented on the use of secret evidence calling it un-American. Government Bush on Secret Evidence "On the issue of Secret Evidence - another creation of the Clinton/Gore Justice Department - I am also troubled by the disturbing stories of how this policy is being implemented. More and more, new immigrants, often Arab or Muslim immigrants, face deportation or even imprisonment based on evidence they've never seen and never been able to dispute. That's not the American way. Here too, the security of our country and our people is of course the foremost consideration. Yet that doesn't justify a disregard for fairness, dignity, or civil rights. As President, I will work with leaders like Senator Spencer Abraham and Congressman Henry Hyde to ensure respect for the law - and for all law-abiding citizens." "All people - citizens, future citizens, aspiring citizens - deserve to be treated with dignity and respect." AMC Executive Director Aly Abuzaakouk said, "While we appreciate and thank Governor Bush for recognizing the injustices behind the use of secret evidence, his statement falls short of our expectations. We hope that he will strongly support the repeal of secret evidence." * 2-page flier (not dated) "George W. Bush for President" a statement titled Governor George W. Bush's Record of Inclusion.
