Did Bush Eat Popcorn While Watching the Torture Tapes?

[bemildred]

Have you watched the videotape of the torture of Abu Zubaydah? No. See how easy that is? The vast majority of folks reading this blog can answer that question succinctly. You do not have to parse. When presidents parse, they are hiding something.

Let’s begin with the White House smoke screen on this issue. When spokeswoman Dana Perino was asked the other day:

QUESTION: . . . On these CIA videotapes, did either the President or Vice President or Condoleezza Rice, when she was National Security Advisor, or Steve Hadley, see them before they were destroyed?

Perino offered this artful phrasing:

PERINO: I spoke to the President, and so I will have to defer on the others. But I spoke to the President this morning about this. He has no recollection of being made aware of the tapes or their destruction before yesterday. He was briefed by General Hayden yesterday morning.

3. He really really really loves watching torture. It excites him so much!

He might even whip himself to increase the pleasure.
