60. Bush Rosegarden Address to end GOP revolt
Trying to stare down a revolt from fellow Republicans,
President George W. Bush warned on Friday that a
CIA interrogation program for suspected terrorists is doomed unless the U.S. Congress saves it and time is running out to act
<snip>
A day after a Senate committee rejected his pleas and endorsed legislation that would protect the rights of terrorism suspects, Bush argued strongly at a Rose Garden news conference for his proposals to allow tough questioning of the suspects.
<snip>
The alternative legislation is backed by a powerful coalition of Republican senators with military backgrounds -- John McCain of Arizona, John Warner of Virginia and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, plus a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
Colin Powell, who was secretary of state for Bush.
