Although the book does not land on store shelves until tomorrow, details have already started to leak out about Decision Points, George W. Bush’s new memoir, largely as a result of media sources that received advance copies. Among other things, the CBC reports that Bush remains unrepentant about authorizing that one of the 9/11 organizers be waterboarded.

“He doesn’t believe it was torture and he doesn’t believe it was in contravention of any international charters,” CBC reporter Susan Bonner told CBC News Network.

Other revelations include the fact that the former U.S. president was “stunned” to discover there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, that he considered dropping Dick Cheney as his running mate in the 2004 election, and that the lowest point of his presidency came when rapper Kanye West told a live television broadcast that “George Bush doesn’t care about black people.” West made the comment in the wake of the U.S. government’s lack of response to the Hurricane Katrina disaster in New Orleans; some might feel it was that lack of response, not West’s remark, that was a low point for the administration.

However, the CBC points to an interview that NBC’s Matt Lauer conducted with Bush, in which the ex-president professes his compassion for those who suffered the ravages of Katrina:

“I also make it clear that the misery in Louisiana affected me deeply as well,” Bush replies. “There’s a lot of tough moments in the book.”
