Peter McRobbie: Bushnell's Superior

Quotes 

• Bushnell's Superior : [At Bushnell's office, immediately after the genocide begins]  I'm telling you, we don't want another Mogadishu. We don't want our boys dragged naked in the streets. The public won't have it, the Pentagon won't have it, the president won't have it...!

  Prudence Bushnell : [Urgent]  Sir, we're only 48 hours into this and we already have reports of over 10,000 women and children already killed! And they're not just killing Tutsis, they're targeting moderate Hutus.

  Bushnell's Superior : Prudence, what is our vital interest in Rwanda?

  Prudence Bushnell : If there's a crisis, it could destabilize the entire region.

  [to coworker] 

  Prudence Bushnell : May I...?

  Bushnell's Superior : [Muttering]  I appreciate the human tragedy.

  Prudence Bushnell : [Pointing to a paragraph in a C.I.A. report]  Here! If the killing in Rwanda starts, the best case scenario estimates 20,000 dead; the worst case scenario could exceed 500,000. That's the January 25th, 1994, C.I.A. report. That's just nine weeks ago, Sir.

  Bushnell's Superior : [Annoyed]  I don't want to talk about any C.I.A. report again.
