Yet George W. Bush tells New Yorker writer Ken Auletta: "No President has ever done more for human rights than I have." With stunners like that, no wonder he spends so little time with journalists.

I wonder if Ken Auletta edited out the phrase "for Iraqis" somewhere in that quote.

That would make sense. I was looking around, and couldn't find the original article to see in what context it was taken. What I did find was some presumably leftwing site called Unknown News that had a link to the posted article and a link to the New Yorker site but not to the original New Yorker article (actually a press release). I did some searching but was unable to come up with the original. Here is the link to the Unknown News site.

Anyways the above site asks "Is George Bush insane?", because of this "quote". That got me somewhat interested in finding out the real deal. I figure that it was taken out of context like you said deliberately.
