Flippancy

Is it just me, or does is seem like there's nothing that makes a person look guiltier than taking a completely flippant attitude towards a very serious accusation? From the Kansas City Star:

Making a forceful defense of America's handling of terrorism detainees, President Bush on Tuesday dismissed the claim of a human rights group that the United States is operating a network of gulag-style prisons as "an absurd allegation."

Bush rejected Amnesty International's contention in its recent annual report of human rights abuses worldwide and suggested instead that allegations about American mistreatment of detainees are coming from the detainees themselves, "people who hate America."

Are you suggesting that G.W. was "disassembling"?
