Wash Down The Bush Torture Memos With Some Tea?

Try to square these two:

1. Bush said America does not torture.

2. The interrogation methods were authorized beginning in 2002, and some were used as late as 2005 in the C.I.A.’s secret overseas prisons. The 14 approved techniques, including waterboarding, were among the Bush administration’s most closely guarded secrets, and the documents released Thursday afternoon were the most comprehensive public accounting to date of the program.

How can you have a report if it never happened? So Bush lied, his administration stood for lying. He actively lied. He was an lying activist President of massive proportion.

I am not in denial about it. Now we need to find out what happened.
"Within minutes of the release of the memos, Senator Patrick J. Leahy, the Vermont Democrat who is chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said that the memos illustrated the need for his proposed independent commission of inquiry, which would offer immunity in return for candid testimony."
Nice. That's the representation you get with taxation.
