To quote Bush, "So what?" (He said that when asked about the secret prisons in other countries and the alleged torture that goes on there....but we all know he means that about everything and anything. If you don't know that ....why you just havn't been paying attention.

Because telling people that these programs do not exist protects classified information. By saying no comment, you leave it open. Classified information, by design, does not exist. By doing anything to the contrary violates the concept.

Probably classified. Perhaps ongoing investigations that would be jeopardized. President Bush, contrary to liberal opinions, is loath to lie.

Those things were secrets of national security. We have to keep our methods of finding information secret. We also need to find the leak that is betraying us and cap him.

You just used the words "honest" and "forthright" within 300 pixels of "Bush". Your computer will implode momentarily.

Why say "no comment" when he can proudly admit breaking federal laws, knowing that he will be about to manipulate enough of the population that he will be able to get away with it.
