Bush Vetoes Bill Banning Torture Interview with former CIA analyst Mel Goodman, senior fellow at the Center for International Policy, conducted by Scott Harris  In defending his veto, Bush made the unsubstantiated claim that harsh interrogation methods employed by the CIA had prevented a number of terrorist attacks and is still needed to protect the country. Human rights advocates and congressional critics were quick to condemn the president's veto for violating both the Geneva Conventions and the Detainee Treatment Act, that prohibit "cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment." Between The Lines' Scott Harris spoke with Mel Goodman a former CIA analyst who is now a senior fellow at the Center for International Policy. Goodman takes a critical look at President Bush's veto of the torture bill and public reaction to the constitutional violations that the White House justifies by claiming these actions are necessary to fight the war on terrorism. Mel Goodman is the author of "Failure of Intelligence: The Decline and Fall of the CIA."
