Valin Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Politico:ANDY BARR 6/3/10Former President George W. Bush said Wednesday that he has no regrets about waterboarding Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, saying that, if presented with the same opportunity, he’d “do it again.”Bush made the comments in reference to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the accused mastermind of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks who was waterboarded after his capture, during a speech to the Economics Club of Grand Rapids in Michigan. The remarks were first reported by the Grand Rapids Press.“Yeah, we waterboarded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed,” Bush said. “I'd do it again to save lives.”(Snip)Bush also defended his decision to invade Iraq during the speech, despite the fact that weapons of mass destruction were never found.“Getting rid of Saddam Hussein was the right thing to do, and the world is a better place without him,” the former president said.While Bush defended his administration during the speech, he declined to criticize President Barack Obama when asked about his replacement during a question and answer session.“You are not going to see me in the public square criticizing the president,” Bush said.___________________________________________________________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
