During President Bush’s press conference on 8/9/07, The Washington Post’s Peter Baker asked him if he “had read” a highly confidential report by the International Committee of the Red Cross that “has found an interrogation program in CIA detention facilities, that used interrogation techniques that were ‘tantamount to torture.”
President Bush responded:
“Haven’t seen it; we don’t torture,” before moving on to another question.
Now, in this morning's Washington Post, is this headline: "CIA Tactics Endorsed In Secret Memos - Waterboarding Got White House Nod."
From the piece:
"The Bush administration issued a pair of secret memos to the CIA in 2003 and 2004 that explicitly endorsed the agency's use of interrogation techniques such as waterboarding."
OK?
