Think Progress » Bush Flashback: “War Crimes Will Be Prosecuted…It Will Be No Defense To Say, ‘I Was Just Following Orders’”

“It’s important for people to understand that in a democracy, there will be a full investigation. In other words, we want to know the truth. In our country, when there’s an allegation of abuse … there will be a full investigation, and justice will be delivered. … It’s very important for people and your listeners to understand that in our country, when an issue is brought to our attention on this magnitude, we act. And we act in a way in which leaders are willing to discuss it with the media. … In other words, people want to know the truth. That stands in contrast to dictatorships. A dictator wouldn’t be answering questions about this. A dictator wouldn’t be saying that the system will be investigated and the world will see the results of the investigation.”

Because when you really need to get that info fast, nothing performs like waterboarding 183 times over one month.
Kind of blows that whole Jack Bauer argument out of the water, even though it’s been pretty much debunked as an impossible scenario from the get go, and, well, of course,…
it’s a fucking TV show! (made by FOX)
