PARIS (AP) - President Bush said in a published interview that Iraqis fighting American troops weren't all terrorists and insisted he can understand their distaste for occupation.
In an interview with Paris Match magazine, that will go on sale Thursday, Bush said "no one would want to be in the place" of Iraqis under occupation.
"They are not all terrorists," Bush said in the interview, conducted last week in the Oval Office. "The suicide bombers are, but other fighters aren't. They can't stand being occupied." <snip>
In the wide-ranging interview, Bush expressed regret that U.S. "honor" had been "soiled" by torture of Iraqis by some U.S. troops. <snip>
