Bush says he didn't violate U.S. or international law--but this begs the question: Is he simply relying on the contorted legal opinions upon which the Administration has currently founded its prisoner interrogation policy?
President Bush said Thursday he never authorized the use of any interrogation techniques in the war on terrorism that would violate U.S. or international laws.
"The authorization I issued was that anything we did would conform to U.S. law and would be consistent with international treaty obligations," Bush told reporters at the G8 Summit.
