Torture Anyone?

From today's CNN article http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/09/06/bush.speech/index.html

"Bush said torture was not part of the program and he had notauthorized any form of torture, saying American law forbids it."

and later...

"Bush said Wednesday he would ask Congress for explicit rules so U.S. personnel are protected from abuse charges as they fight the war on terror."

Now if the US personnel aren't doing anything illegal such astorture why in the world would they need explicit protection? I think he's pulling one of them definition loopholes for the meaning of torture, same way Clinton did with the definition of having sex, or he's just retarded...
