Failing to recall that he works for and is accountable to the American people, Bush attempts to take questions from the press. Anyone remember follow-ups?
Q Is there going to be investigating the allegations that there are U.S.-run terrorist detention centers abroad? Don't the American people deserve an accounting of why these places exist and what's being done there?THE PRESIDENT: The United States of America does not torture. And that's important for people around the world to understand.
Odd, the question didn't refer to torture. In his avoidance, he allowed us to glimpse what's really on his mind. Those nanoseconds out of the bubble have to be really taking a toll on him.
