Oh, the humanity! To think that the President would actually approve of meetings that discussed just how to deal with Islamic terrorists who were part of a group that had recently destroyed the World Trade Center, damaged the Pentagon, and killed 2,996 of our friends and neighbors.
(Washington Post) President Bush said Friday that he was aware his top national security advisers had discussed the details of harsh interrogation tactics to be used on detainees.
Bush also said in an interview with ABC News that he approved of the meetings, which were held as the CIA began to prepare for a secret interrogation program that included waterboarding, or simulated drowning, and other coercive techniques.
“Well, we started to connect the dots, in order to protect the American people” by learning what various detainees knew, Bush said in the interview at the presidential ranch here. “And yes, I’m aware our national security team met on this issue. And I approved.”
The remarks underscore the extent to which the top officials were directly involved in setting the controversial interrogation policies.
Liberals would probably have bitched if Bush hadn’t done this. And, it is easy for them to bitch now, years after the fact, when they have put 9/11 behind them. Well, quite a few of them put 9/11 behind them within a few weeks. And let’s not forget the large part of the Democrat Party that believes that 9/11 was an inside job.
I’d like to say that I am continuously amazed that liberals care more about Islamic terrorists then about protecting the citizens of the United States of America, but, at this point, I’m not, just like their venomous and disgusting personal attacks no longer shock and disturb me.
With liberals, you are damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Other then abortion on demand being a Right, they have no fixed morals or ethics. It is all about what will gain them power.
Hey Pirate!
Did it ever occur to you to get an education before you tried to do any of this writing stuff? You’re not very good at it. You would, however, fit right in to any Bush Administration cabinet position because the measure of doing a “heck of a job” for Bush & Co is incompetence and tunnel vision.
