Moonlight Graham Posted November 8, 2010 Report Posted November 8, 2010 From cbc.ca re: info revealed in Bush's new memoir: Former U.S. president George W. Bush's hotly anticipated memoir Decision Points reveals that he authorized the waterboarding of an organizer of the 9/11 attacks. "He doesn't believe it was torture and he doesn't believe it was in contravention of any international charters," CBC reporter Susan Bonner told CBC News Network. More details from the book: - Bush was stunned to discover there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq- Bush also writes that he considered removing former vice-president Dick Cheney before his second term because of Cheney's low popularity. - Cheney also angrily confronted Bush because the then-president did not pardon Lewis (Scooter) Libby, convicted of lying during the investigation into the leaked identify of CIA operative Valerie Plame. Wow Cheney getting the boot, that would have been nice. Quote "All generalizations are false, including this one." - Mark Twain Partisanship is a disease of the intellect.
bush_cheney2004 Posted November 8, 2010 Report Posted November 8, 2010 ...Wow Cheney getting the boot, that would have been nice. VP Cheney volunteered his resignation to President Bush if it would help their cause. Hawks and doves in his cabinet battled over policy during the first term, with Cheney leading one side.

Moonlight Graham Posted November 8, 2010 Author Report Posted November 8, 2010 It looks like an interesting book for sure no matter one's leanings. I may even pick it up. Do you think he would sign it for me? Quote "All generalizations are false, including this one." - Mark Twain Partisanship is a disease of the intellect.
