Bush says US 'does not torture'

[Hydra]

Watch our furless leader attempting to defend the indefensible.

And some people think he's some sort of "anointed savior" :puke:

Bush, speaking emphatically, noted that "highly trained professionals" conduct any questioning. "And by the way," he said, "we have gotten information from these high-value detainees that have helped protect you."

He also said that the techniques used by the United States "have been fully disclosed to appropriate members of the United States Congress" — an indirect slap at the torrent of criticism that has flowed from the Democratic-controlled Congress since the memos' disclosure.

A White House spokesman, meanwhile, criticized the leak of such information to the news media and questioned the motivations of those who do so.

"It's troubling," Tony Fratto said Friday. "I've had the awful responsibility to have to work with The New York Times and other news organizations on stories that involve the release of classified information. And I can tell you that every time I've dealt with any of these stories, I have felt that we have chipped away at the safety and security of America with the publication of this kind of information."

"You're a lying sack of crap

4. He had to say that: he always lies, and saying that the U.S. doesn't torture is the only way to lie

Unfortunately, although it has discomfitted them, there has yet to be any evidence that publication of "this kind of information" has chipped away at the safety and security of the Bushista criminals. Enough evidence is there, but few are prosecuted -- and then they get their sentences commuted.
