''We do not torture,'' President Bush said on Monday.... Never mind all those torture pictures, stories, memo, rendition, Cheney lobbbying ...

Sound off: Where the views and opinions of our staff and others are expressed on various topics that relate to Bush: "We've slipped from the moral high ground | by Leonard Pitts Jr. | Miami Herald | November 11, 2005

Well, I guess that settles that.

''We do not torture,'' President Bush said on Monday.

Never mind all those torture pictures from Abu Ghraib.

Never mind all those torture stories from Guant�namo Bay.

Never mind the 2002 Justice Department memo that sought to justify torture.

Never mind reports of U.S. officials sending detainees to other countries for torture.

Never mind Dick Cheney lobbying to exempt the CIA from rules prohibiting torture.

''We do not torture,'' said the president. And that's that, right? I mean, if you can't believe the Bush administration, who can you believe? No torture. Period, end of sentence."
