Bush admits to joining his senior advisers in approving torture:
President Bush says he knew his top national security advisers discussed and approved specific details about how high-value al Qaeda suspects would be interrogated by the Central Intelligence Agency, according to an exclusive interview with ABC News Friday.
“Well, we started to connect the dots in order to protect the American people.” Bush told ABC News White House correspondent Martha Raddatz. “And yes, I’m aware our national security team met on this issue. And I approved.” (emphasis supplied)
And yet it’s not a news story worth covering, if you look at CNN, the New York Times, or the Washington Post. Even ABC, the organization that originally reported it, buried the story. Funny, that. Again, we need a jury.
