[So, they knew. They both knew he had executed a defenseless man in cold blood. It was something he was ashamed of, and they both knew. What else did they know?
It all sends his mind reeling. Sure there were a few things that the Chancellor did Anakin didn't particularly agree with, but all of the man's actions seemed rational enough. And now here they were, implying Palpatine was a Sith Lord. He didn't want to believe it—couldn't believe it. This was the man who had treated him like a son all these years. Palpatine was the only one Anakin could really talk to, he was the only one who really understood. He tries to hold back his emotions but his mind is racing, trying to think of some rational explanation. They were wrong.]
No, the Chancellor was right; Count Dooku could not be left alive. He was too dangerous. Was it not the best for the Republic? Without him it leads us one step closer to ending the war.
[His actions were justified even if they he felt like it was wrong. right? But... he's still conflicted. He looks at them both, trying to find anything that says they're lying. He doesn't, and it's out of that frustration that his anger slowly starts to build, and it's very apparent as his voice starts to become louder. He shakes his head furiously. They're wrong.]
I don't believe it. You're wrong about him. The Chancellor is a good man—he's an honest man. I would have seen it. It's not him. [Maybe he's just trying to convince himself more than he's trying to convince them.]
