Well, that's alright then.

From the BBC:

The Senate has passed legislation banning torture, but the Bush administration is seeking an exemption for the CIA spy agency.

"We do not torture and therefore we're working with Congress to make sure that as we go forward, we make it more possible to do our job," Mr Bush said.

That makes sense. We do not torture, so we need an exemption for the CIA so that they could torture to do their jobs, even though they don't.
