Sounds like she enjoys to be a few steps from the Constitution and morals herself.
The Nuremberg Trials tagged and bagged the concept of "We had orders".
Yeah, if in a hypothetical world, President George W. Bush had ‘authorized’ Karl Rove to pump a few rounds of .45 ACP into Condi’s azz, it would be legal wouldn’t it?
I believe she said something like, "If the President authorizes it, it is legal".
I stipulate that she definitely said something that sounded a lot like that. But like Condi, you and I both know that if that had been what those questioners heard, they would have gone ballistic for certain sure. And her listeners did not even follow up on it as you and I would have done. I suspect that you and I missed something, perhaps something that she had explained earlier.
