OUR TAKE: Towards the end Bush seems angry that a decision he has taken is not being accepted and that the press and others are daring to question him. As someone who watched Richard Nixon's press conferences during the height of that administrations' crises, there is a sense of deja vu. Bush here seems to be first explaining what he argues is a vital legal need and then seems to be switching into a lashing out and nearly a threatening mode (the way he keeps repeating that interrogations will stop).
Now, the Court said that you've got to live under Article III of the Geneva Convention, and the standards are so vague that our professionals won't be able to carry forward the program, because they don't want to be tried as war criminals.
