George W. Bush: “In our system, each individual is presumed innocent and entitled to due process and a fair trial.”

I have decided that it is necessary to include these rules of origin.

For eight years, it has been my honor to serve as your President. The first decade of this new century has been a period of consequence—a time set apart.

Being your President was a high privilege, and the honor of a lifetime.

I applaud your Governor's response to that tragedy.
