Bush: What, Me Know About Torture Tapes?In an exclusive interview with ABC News President Bush said Tuesday he did not know about the destruction of CIA videotapes of detainee interrogations.The President said he was told just a few days ago.
“My first recollection of whether the tapes existed or whether they were destroyed was when [CIA Director] Michael Hayden briefed me,” Bush said.
So Bush didn’t know about the tapes’ existence until last week, even though his bestest buddy Harriet Miers knew in 2003?
