If You Thought Defending Torture Was Bad...

...then you really, really need to see what Rep. Ralph Hall (R-TX) has been doing.

A Texas congressman is denying charges he slandered a foreign sex slave at the behest of Jack

Abramoff. But documents obtained by TPMmuckraker contradict the Republican's claims.


In November of 1997, Rep. Ralph Hall (R-TX) publicly questioned the credibility of a teenage girl's claims that she'd been the victim of the sex trade in the Northern Mariana Islands. The statement, which Rep. Hall entered into the Congressional Record, was prepared by Jack Abramoff, the lobbyist for the islands.

The party of moral values and all that good stuff, right?
