Wednesday, President Bush admitted to having secret CIA bases scattered throughout eastern europe which he had previously denied existing to the american public in no uncertain terms.
The reason for the secret bases and why these terrorists have not been brought to american prisons is to avoid the monitoring of their conditions, in violation of the Geneva convention. The tacit understanding is that torture would be occurring even though Pres.Bush has stated, "I want to be absolutely clear with our people, and the world: The United States does not torture."
He did however ackknowledge that, "I cannot describe the specific methods used — I think you understand why. But I can say the procedures were tough, and they were safe and lawful and necessary"
However, with the definition of psychological torture extending into "outrages against personal dignity" and "humiliating and degrading treatment", it seems clear that Bush has lied about this situation to the face of America.
