Bush: No regrets over waterboarding


Recommended Posts

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.
