BRENNAN: Okay, but in this case, in that clarification, the reason I'm asking you is when the president says he's going to bomb energy infrastructure, civilian energy infrastructure, is he going to bomb a nuclear power plant or is that off the table? Brennan followed up by asking Waltz how they "ensure that this doesn't constitute a war crime," rather than simply pointing out to Waltz that it would be a war crime, and then allowed Waltz to serve up a big heaping helping of whataboutism in response before pretending they would be justified in bombing civilian infrastructure should they decide to do so. The civilian infrastructure that they're attacking (crosstalk) and when you have a regime that that has its grips and so much critical infrastructure that's using it to further not only the repression of its own people to attack its neighbors, and in contravention of UN sanctions to march towards a nuclear weapon then, that makes those legitimate targets BRENNAN: Okay, well, you know that in many of these places, water desalinization is linked into that energy infrastructure, civilian infrastructure.
