President George Bush on Friday categorically defended his authorization of interrogation methods defined by international and US law and viewed the world over as torture.
At a previously unscheduled Oval Office meeting with the press, Bush responded to an article published the previous day by the New York Times revealing the existence of two secret Justice Department memos from 2005 explicitly sanctioning the use of such methods as head-slapping, subjecting detainees to freezing cold, and applying the simulated drowning technique known as water-boarding.
One of the memos declared that none of the torture techniques then being used by the Central Intelligence Agency against alleged terrorists constituted “cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment.”

Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.
