President Bush emerged from relative seclusion yesterday to defend the harsh interrogation methods used against suspected terrorists, The Swamp reported today.
The former president shied away from blasting the anti-terrorism policies of the Obama administration — like former Vice President Dick Cheney has done — but said he did what was right for America and it paid off.
“I made a decision within the law to get information so I can say, ‘I’ve done what it takes to do my duty to protect the American people,’ ” Bush said at the Economic Club of Southwestern Michigan, according to The Swamp. “I can tell you, the information gained saved lives.”
