He claims that it was okay because it was a hypothetical and that he didn't literally mean that they should do this. So, he stands by his statement. He has gone on the defensive rather than admit that the remark was a bit out of the bounds of appropriateness.
Come on, if the Bush administration thinks its inappropriate, it must really be bad.
