"We do not torture"?

"Well, I guess that settles that. ''We do not torture,'' Bush said Monday.
Never mind all those torture pictures from Abu Ghraib.
Never mind all those torture stories from Guantánamo Bay.
Never mind the 2002 Justice Department memo that sought to justify torture.
Never mind reports of U.S. officials sending detainees to other countries for torture.
Never mind Dick Cheney lobbying to exempt the CIA from rules prohibiting torture.
''We do not torture,'' said the president. And that's that, right? I mean, if you can't
believe Bush, who can you believe?
