Delusional Bush Claims "We Don't Torture"

Perhaps it can be attributed to the Lyme's Disease, but otherwise President Bush is either a pathological liar or delusional. At a press conference today he was asked if he had read the report by the International Red Cross that refers to the CIA treatment of prisoners as "tantamount to torture".

Bush replied with a simple, "haven’t seen it; we don’t torture,” then moved quickly to a different question. This report is by the International Red Cross. These are mot political ideologues trying to push an agenda, they are humanitarians trying to assure that all prisoners are treated humanely. Why is he either ignoring it or just lying? Well my guess is that if he does acknowledge it he cold be considered guilty of war crimes. Not a pretty footnote for your history.
