THE HANDS-ON PRESIDENT. Bush personally supervised Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. [...] BUSH: One such person who gave us information was Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. … And I’m in the Oval Office and I am told that we have captured Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the professionals believe he has information necessary to secure the country. So I ask what tools are available for us to find information from him and they gave me a list of tools, and I said are these tools deemed to be legal? And so we got legal opinions before any decision was made. ...
Bush Admits He Ordered Torture …
Jules Crittenden —
... … for kicks. Hang on, that’s just the usual Think Progress nonsense. Actually, Bush admits he approved harsh interrogation methods after being told they were legal and did not constitute torture … seeing as they are applied to U.S. soldiers in training … and that the interrogators gained information that helped save lives. Think Progress, citing an entirely different situation, falsely claims that interrogators denied that the breaking of al-Qaeda terrorists without causing any physical harm via waterboarding saved lives. In fact, the only interrogator who participated in ...

... clean by Fox "news" host Brit "My Chin and Neck Are One" Hume, President George W. Bush said he authorized the torture of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. He chose the tortures off a menu of tortures like he was ordering a steak at Outback: "So I ask what tools are available for us to find information from him, and they gave me a list of tools." And then he asked how they were cooked: "And I said, are these tools deemed to be legal." They worked, he claimed, in filling his belly with information that, he says, saved American lives. But he can't tell you what or how. ...

... SCARBOROUGH: I know for a fact that waterboarding brought our interrogators, brought Americans, probably about 70-75 percent of what they get. What they got from Khalid Shaikh Mohammed opened doors that we are still going through. Waterboarding has produced and given so much evidence to our people in the CIA and in the other intelligence agencies. Khalid Shaikh Mohammed by himself has done more to crush al Qaeda than Dick Cheney or George Bush because of waterboarding. ...

I know, I know -- the Nutroots firmly believes that President Bush sought to inflict as much pain and suffering on as many people as humanly possible, and that he deliberately demanded the most vile treatment of prisoners conceivable, personally ensuring that everything he ordered had been condemned and outlawed in every civilized nation. And all the while, Dick Cheney, John ...

The Reaction —
... They, and by they I suppose he means himself, Cheney and their closest sycophants, may believe they tortured a lot of "actionable intelligence" out of Mr. Mastermind, but the consensus of those who were involved deems the information to have been useless. I'd also think that we'll never be able to hold the man to account because the evidence is tainted by torture. But I don't suppose Bush will ever torture his 'beautiful mind' with that reality. ...
