I had the opportunity to go out to Goree Island and talk about what slavery meant to America. It's very interesting when you think about it, the slaves who left here to go to America, because of their steadfast and their religion and their belief in freedom, helped change America. America is what it is today because of what went on in the past.

Sometimes things aren't exactly black and white when it comes to accounting procedures.

REPORTER: The accounting procedures at Harken and Aloha have been compared to what went on at Enron. Would you agree with that?
DUBYA: No.
REPORTER: Why not, sir?
DUBYA: Well, again, this is — uhh — there was no malfeance involved. This was a honest disagreement about — uhh — accounting procedures. And the SEC took a good look at it, and decided that the procedures used by the auditors, and the accounting firm, uhh — needed to — were not the right procedure in this particular case, or the right — ruling, and, therefore, asked Harken to restate earnings, which it did. I mean, that's the way the SEC works. That's the proper role of an oversight group. There was no malfeance, no attempt to hide anything. It was just a accounting firm making a decision, along with the — the corporate officers, as to how to account for a complex transiction.

REPORTER: On Iraq, can the American people expect that by the end of your first term you will have affected a regime change in Iraq, one way or another? And by the same token —
DUBYA: That's hypothetical.
REPORTER: But can the American people expect that? Should they expect that?
DUBYA: That's a hypothetical question. They can expect me not to answer hypothetical questions.
REPORTER:On Osama bin Laden does your promise still —
DUBYA: On sensitive subjects.
REPORTER: Sir, on Osama bin Laden, does your promise still hold that he will be caught, dead or alive, at some point?
DUBYA: What? Say that again?
REPORTER: Does your promise on — or your goal of catching Osama bin Laden dead or alive, does that still stand?
DUBYA: I don't know if he is dead or alive, for starters — so I'm going to answer your question with a hypothetical. Osama bin Laden, he may be alive. If he is, we'll get him. If he's not alive, we got him.

This, and all matters that related to Harken, were fully looked into by the SEC. And in this case, the system worked. There was a honest difference of opinion as to how to account for a complicated tragsaction.

I mean I, I, I, uhh — I seek justice for the deaths done to American people. And uhh, uhh — it's, it's, eh, heh, heh — you can be tough and seek justice, Ed. And, uhh, you can be disciplined and focused and seek justice. But it's a frame of mind. It's, it's we, we, we duh — we don't take, we, we, we, we take lives when we have to, to protect the people and to hold people accountable for killing thousands, is how I look at it. Ed, and then Jim, and then Tie Man.
