WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush said Thursday he will reserve judgment on his administration’s destruction of CIA interrogation tapes until several inquiries are finished. “Let’s wait and see what the facts are,” Bush said.

The destruction in late 2005 of the tapes, showing harsh interrogation treatment of two terrorism suspects, is being investigated by the Justice Department, the CIA itself and by several congressional panels.

Bush stuck to the White House line that he personally did not know about either the existence of the tapes or their destruction until he was briefed earlier this month by CIA Director Michael Hayden.

“Sounds pretty clear to me when I say I have - the first recollection is when Mike Hayden briefed me. That’s pretty clear,” Bush said.
