Bush jumps in - again - on the "we don't torture" spin

while i was putting together the previous post, this item was released... the administration is obviously feeling the need to do some fast talking...

President George W. Bush on Thursday offered new assurances that the United States handles terrorism suspects in accordance with international and American law, Austrian Chancellor Wolfgang Schuessel said.

[...]

After a meeting with Bush in the Oval Office, Schuessel told reporters he was satisfied.

again, saying it doesn't make it so and what's wolfie gonna do, call george a liar to his face...? besides, i'm not sure bush even really knows one way or the other whether torture is happening on his watch or not...
