“What the president has said is that we do not torture, and he has said that while we need to be aggressive in the war against terror, we also have to do it in a way that complies with U.S. law, with U.S. treaty obligations and with the constitution. That's our policy. And to the extent there are provisions in the convention against torture dealing with those things, it's the president's view we need to comply with whatever the U.S. obligations are under those kinds of conventions ...We respect the sovereignty of the countries with which we deal. And we do not move people around the world so that they can be tortured.”
Stephen Hadley, U.S. National Security Advisor.
