MSNBC’s Cenk Uygur Claims George W. Bush Confessed to ‘War Crimes’ in New Memoir
In a wretched attempt to re-litigate the past, MSNBC contributor Cenk Uygur indicted former President George W. Bush for war crimes. Bellowing today from his regular perch on “The Dylan Ratigan Show,” Uygur mischaracterized the 43rd President's position on the waterboarding of 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed as “go ahead and torture him basically” before demanding that Bush be prosecuted for allegedly violating Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions. “Now it seems to me we have a confession here of a war crime and a clear violation of international and United States law,” proclaimed Uygur. “President George W. Bush should go to jail for at least 10 years.” The alleged “confession” Uygur referred to is an excerpt from Bush's new memoir, “Decision Points,” in which the former commander-in-chief reaffirms his decision to condone the use of waterboarding as an enhanced-interrogation technique for suspected terrorists.
