You're right. I implied that I was paraphrasing, because I thought (and still think) that Bush indicated that he thinks it's immoral. I don't think my interpretation is outrageous; and if Bush doesn't think it is immoral, and wants others to know that, he should have communicated better.
Also, I don't think the lack of a ban is a good test for his opinion, because I think he lacks the authority to ban it. I believe that would require an act of congress, and he knows that he wouldn't be able to get it without a politically costly fight (probably not at all).
