(CBS) It was one of the worst-kept secrets in the world — and on Wednesday, President Bush confirmed it: In a major speech about the war on terror, the president, for the first time, acknowledged the existence of secret CIA prisons around the world.

(snip)

"We uncovered a potential anthrax attack on the United States. Or the fact the Khalid Sheikh Mohammed had got somebody to line up people to fly airlines, to crash airlines into I think the West Coast, or somewhere in America, and these would be Southeast Asians," Mr. Bush said.

"This is pretty rich data that has been declassified, so that I'm capable of telling America the importance of the interrogation program, and I'm going to call upon Congress to make sure the interrogators has the capacity to do so without breaking the law. See we're not interrogating now, because CIA officials feel like the rules are so vague that they cannot interrogate without being tried as war criminals. That's irresponsible."

"And I can't tell you how. You know, one way to look at it is we have to be right 100 percent of the time in order to protect this country, and they got to be right once," he said.

(end snips)

What a deranged arrogant ignorant sociopathic fool. We don't torture (actually we do, Smirky) (but we know who does and we sent them there).

The last line is a reich wing talking point that I have heard at least a dozen times this week.

11. Will it have any consequence for Bush?

Hardly. He'll get away with this, just as anything else.

I read today that the investigation into the most prominent 11 men from the 'liquid plot' in London won't be finished until 2008, so they won't be charged until Bush has finished his 'presidency'. Great. Not that it would have mattered. If it'd turned out to be a scam tomorrow, they just say 'we hatta do it' and get away with that as well.
