I'm curious where you heard that right wing Bush apologists were making the argument that, "Why is double-tapping legal and waterboarding not" since the term "double tap" is not in this video?
Hah! Thanks Shannon Burke and
this guy! It's all because of this great interview that Chris Wallace did on Sunday on Fox News Sunday. He had one of the national security guys from the regime on there, and he really tripped the guy up. I had the sound bite yesterday and I just didn't get to it, but I can tell you what happened.
Chris Wallace basically said, "I don't understand something. You won't waterboard anybody -- it's inhumane and it's against American values -- but you've got no problem putting two bullet holes above Bin Laden's left eye."
"Well, that's right. We want to protect American values."
"So killing somebody who's unarmed in cold blood is fine, but waterboarding 'em, that's just American?"
I think it would be safe to say that's what Wallace meant. But to prevent you from incessantly dwelling over one phrase...
