Please ignore the torture victim behind the curtain...

Just in case you didn't get the actual text of what Bush said today (which is being stuffed into headlines as "We do not torture."), here it is in its larger context (emphasis added):
Our country is at war, and our government has the obligation to protect the American people. The executive branch has the obligation to protect the American people; the legislative branch has the obligation to protect the American people. And we are aggressively doing that. We are finding terrorists and bringing them to justice. We are gathering information about where the terrorists may be hiding. We are trying to disrupt their plots and plans. Anything we do to that effort, to that end, in this effort, any activity we conduct, is within the law. We do not torture.
