President Bush wouldn't comment when asked about U.S.-run secret prisons abroad, but did say that the United States does not torture and will do everything in its legal power to protect Americans while abiding by U.S. law ("Bush: U.S. Won't Use Ransom for Captives," Dec. 7).
This president doesn't have to worry too much about U.S. law on torture (or anything else) when he's got the attorney general to write it for him as he goes along, the chief justice of the Supreme Court installed (and another justice waiting in the wings) to bless it for him, a Congress too afraid to oppose anything he does and a mainstream media that will barely raise its voice.
