Meanwhile, President Bush acknowledged that he personally authorized the torture of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who was held in a secret CIA prison where he was waterboarded over 100 times. Bush made the disclosure on Fox News Sunday.

President Bush: “One such person who gave us information was Khalid Sheikh Mohammed… And I’m in the Oval Office, and I am told that we have captured Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the professionals believe he has information necessary to secure the country. So I ask, 'What tools are available for us to find information from him?' And they gave me a list of tools. And I said, 'Are these tools deemed to be legal?' And so, we got legal opinions before any decision was made.”
