I'm not lying. I've pointed out what he said you spend your time defending former and current terrorists.

Here's some more on the gentleman you defend.

Amnesty: Libya Used Torture

Top news: 7 May 2004, Friday.
Confessions from six medics in Libya relating to infecting children with the AIDS virus were extracted by torture, Amnesty International said.

The human rights watchdog reacted in shock over the imposition of death sentences for the five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor pronounced in Benghazi yesterday.

Amnesty called for the Libyan authorities to immediately quash them.

Its delegates were the only representatives of international organizations to be allowed to visit Libya in February and see the accused medics. They heard from those convicted that they were tortured in order to extract confessions, which they later retracted.

Their report described the tortures used, including extensive use of electric shocks; being suspended from a height by the arms; being blindfolded and threatened with being attacked by barking dogs; and beatings, including falaqa (beatings on the soles of the feet), and being beaten with electric cables.

Amnesty reminded about Col Qaddafi's appeal for the abolishment of death sentences but scolded the Arab country that "it must begin to turn words into action."
