Meanwhile, President Bush was questioned Thursday about the CIA and its secret overseas prisons known as black sites.

Reporter: “The New Yorker reports that the Red Cross has found the interrogation program in the CIA detention facilities use interrogation techniques that were tantamount to torture. I’m wondering if you have read that report and what your reaction to it is?”

President Bush: “I haven’t seen it. We don’t torture.”

According to Jane Mayer of The New Yorker, only a handful of officials in the Bush administration have seen the report. Sources told Mayer that the Red Cross also concluded that the U.S. officials responsible for the abusive treatment may have committed “grave breaches” of the Geneva Conventions and may have violated the U.S. Torture Act.
