George W Bush claims waterboarding stopped UK terror attacks

So Georgie Porgie has defied us all and has managed to write a 481-page book with only a few pictures in it - well he got a 28-year-old ghost writer to do it, but who cares about minor details like that. Not that he isn't man enough to admit that it's a feat for a man like him to publish a potential bestseller: "This is going to come as quite a shock to people...that I can write a book, much less read one"...(no we are not sure what that means either, so it should be a fun read). In the book Bush makes some revealing claims about his presidency, and it's rumoured that he was given a eight figure cash advance for the book. In it, he claims that British lives were saved by "waterboarding" (an interrogation technique that simulates drowning) terrorist suspects who were plotting attacks on Heathrow airport and Canary Wharf.
When asked in an in an inertview with The Times if he authorised it to extract information from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the al-Qaeda mastermind behind the 9/11 attack, he said: "Damn right!"The 64-year-old former president also describe his close relationship with Tony Blair, but is very dismissive of public opinion in Britain about the war in Iraq. "It doesn't matter how people perceive me in England. It just doesn't matter any more. And frankly, at times, it didn't matter then," he said.When Blair faced a possible vote of no confidence in Parliament on the eve of war, Bush said he offered him the chance to opt out of sending British troops into Iraq: "Rather than lose the government, I would much rather have Tony and his wisdom and his strategic thinking as the prime minister of a strong and important ally".
But Blair told him: "I'm in. If it costs the government, fine."Bush said he still had "a sickening feeling" about the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.He also claims he was "blind-sided" by the biggest financial crisis since the 1930s, saying that he focused on "kitchen-table" economics such as jobs and inflation rather than credit issues, assuming that others would warn him about it. So Georgie Porgie has defied us all and has managed to write a 481-page book with... more
