George W. Bush, on the need to remove Saddam Hussein from power:

"You find these secret, you know, prisons, where people have been tortured; you know, that's unacceptable." (Found here.)

When the United States was accused of doing the same, instead of denying it, Condoleezza Rice issued a veiled threat to reveal which governments were cooperating with them:

“Some governments choose to cooperate with the United States in intelligence, law enforcement, or military matters. That cooperation is a two-way street.” (Found here.)

So, if I understand the situation correctly, the Bush administration's problem with Saddam's secret prisons isn't that they existed, but that they weren't outsourced?
