Letter to the Editor
President Bush today declared loudly, "We do not torture!" But this statement is just coded "Bush Speak". You have to understand what he really means. Of course we don't torture. That why Bush has secret foreign prisons so that someone else can torture for us. That makes it look like "we" aren't doing it. It's just like Bush said about the CIA leak, "If the person has violated law, that person will be taken care of." What does "taken care of" mean to Bush? It means that they will get a pardon. it's now clear his entire staff knew about the leak and they are all being taken care of.
Now that you know how Bush speak works here's a quiz. Ask yourself what these phrases mean in Bush speak. "Strengthen Social Security", "Simplifying the Tax Code", "Brownie is doing a heck of a job!", "Mission Accomplished", "I won't raise your taxes.", "War is a last resort.", "Social Security Lock Box", and "We don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud". Think about it and have fun figuring it out.

Even though Bush has secret prisons in countries that allow torture, Bush claims that he isn't torturing prisoners. He says, "We do not torture!". But we've seen the pictures from Abu Ghraib so do we believe him or our own lying eyes. In spite of his claim that he doesn't torture, he is pressing Congress for an exemption for the CIA to allow them to do what he says they don't do. John McCain is supposedly fighting against Bush on the torture issue but he's been AWOL in this fight as he is spending all his time in California trying to help Schwarzenegger undermine Democracy in California.
What I think we should do is ship the White house staff to these foreign prison camps to be interrogated to see who committed treason be outing a CIA agent who was the wife of an ambassador. This ambassador was revealing that Bush lied to get us into a fraudulent war. Since Bush says that they don't torture anyone and that these secret prisons are legal, then they shouldn't have any complaints about what might happen to them. Since a CIA agent was exposed then the CIA should get to use these prisons that Bush has said is a legal means of questioning.
