President Bush vetoed an intelligence authorization bill Saturday that would have banned the use of waterboarding during interrogations. Although Bush threatened to veto the legislation if it included the anti-torture measure, the House passed the bill in December, and the Senate did the same in February. In his weekly radio address, Bush insisted that the use of waterboarding during interrogations has produced intelligence that prevented possible attacks.
