He declared, "We do not torture."

This statement from gwb is baffling in view of his administration’s wildly intense effort to stop congress from passing legislation against torture. Does this mean that we don’t now torture but may do so in the future? Does it mean that we used to torture but stopped because we got caught? Does it mean we torture but don’t tell gwb? Does it mean we torture but gwb thinks of it as hazing?
Does gwb say this because dick tell him to say we don’t torture? Maybe “do” is the problem, maybe gwb doesn’t know what “do” means. Maybe he doesn’t know anything.
