Can anyone imagine Bush saying anything like 'Make sure it is lawful. Make sure it meets all of our obligations under the Constitution, U.S. federal statutes and applicable treaties.'

He said something like "Beat those motherf*er god-haters into cow manure until they tell you what I want them to say."

Besides, the way to make sure you follow the law is to get the right lawyers who will tell you whatever meaning of the law you want to hear.
