Bush: Yeah, We Signed Off on Torture. So What?
By Paul Kiel - April 11, 2008, 6:03PM

ABC finally got a hold of President Bush to respond to its story that top administration officials, as members of the National Security Council's Principals Committee, had signed off on "enhanced interrogation" techniques in 2002 that included waterboarding. And Bush doesn't understand what the big deal is:

"Well, we started to connect the dots, in order to protect the American people." Bush told ABC New s White House correspondent Martha Raddatz. "And, yes, I'm aware our national security team met on this issue. And I approved."...

Bush said the ABC report about the Principals' involvement was not so "startling."

9. Any reason he should give a shit?

He can rub it in the face of every American and laugh all the way to the bank. No One will do a damn thing about it..NO ONE

2. This is the expected attitude of a person

who breaks the law but then retroactively changes the law so he never really broke it (wink wink).

3. The guy just confessed to a war crime...

...and, the Democratic leadership yawns. I'm so fucking ashamed of our Democratic leadership that I am literally sick to my stomach.

7. I hope he visits Europe or South America ( not Columbia)

after he's gone and finds himself in a Pinochet experience but with a
more judicious ending.

The International Red Cross said it was a War Crime.

4. Impeach. Indict. Imprison.

This man is a psychopath.

8. Well, it would be a "distraction important issues" to impeach him.

It would interfere with the fundraising for the politicians.
