George Bush actually said...

"It is vitally important that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) be allowed to maintain a separate and classified interrogation program."

"The executive branch must be permitted to present this information in a manner that does not jeopardize national security."

"My veto is intended to allow the continuation of a separate and classified CIA interrogation program that the Department of Justice has determined is lawful."

"The bill would impede the United States Government's efforts to protect the American people effectively from terrorist attacks and other threats."
