In reference to the hearings on the Bush administration’s process and decisions to approve techniques like water boarding when interrogating suspected terrorists:
“It goes back to what the administration was trying to do. If you are trying to commit a crime, it seems to me that’s the last thing you would want to do. If you had it in your mind and heart that you’re going to disregard the law, and you’re going to come up with interrogation techniques that you know to be illegal, you would not go around telling people on the other side of the aisle about it. You would not be getting legal advice.”
How stupid is this guy? Of course you would be telling people on the other side of the aisle. Of course you would be getting legal advice. WHY?!? You bring your opposition in on the plan and get legal advice that supports your plan so that when the time comes to judge your actions, you can claim that nobody stood in your way. Nobody told you that what you were doing was wrong – no matter how wrong it was. It’s the same reason that they attempted to write into law that members of their administration could not be later prosecuted for their actions. THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING WAS ILLEGAL!!! HELLO!!! ARE THERE ANY LIVING BRAIN CELLS INSIDE YOUR CRANIUM, MR. GRAHAM? Lindsey Graham is an ass. He knows exactly why Bush/Cheney did what they did, and that is why he is now playing “Dick Cheney” during these hearings.
