Bush held a press conference today in which he stated that his administration's interrogation tactics and techniques were both "successful" and "lawful". In his speech he stated, "When we find somebody who may have information regarding a potential attack on America, you bet we're going to detain them, and you bet we're going to question them. The American people expect us to find out information, actionable intelligence so we can help protect them. That's our job."
He was defending the policies of his administration following the publication in the New York Times which detailed the decision by the Justice Department to endorse some of the most harsh treatment methods that were employed by the CIA.
'We don't torture', the standard line that always comes from the White House is almost laughable where it not so sad.
