So i just had to play Secretary of Defense in advising the National Security Council on authorizing the CIA to use enhanced interrogation techniques on a guy who may or may not have information on a series of possible suicide bombings around the American embassy in Jordan.

Long story short, I had to advocate that we break a bunch of laws because I had to offer a Jacksonian approach to the problem and that’s how I had to do it. My side won and I got the only A in the class. Proud, I guess, but not happy :S

I’m sorry Abdul. I hope you make it out of this with most of your fingers.
