Can anyone point out to me any qualitative difference between these two statements?
Former President Richard Nixon, about Watergate:
"When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal.”
Former Secretary of State within the George W. Bush administration Condoleezza Rice, regarding waterboarding:
"By definition, if it was authorized by the president, it did not violate our obligations under the Conventions Against Torture."
