Torture - we are debating torture
Vice President Cheney made a personal appeal to Republican senators to exempt the CIA from a proposed ban on torture of terror suspects. That's right, the Vice President of the United States wants torture to be OK. For his part, Senator John McCain (who happens to be against torture, by the CIA or anyone else) is not budging, and has vowed to attach the torture ban wording as an amendment to each and every bill that the passes through the Senate until it is approved.
As John at Americablog points out, McCain's pledge is exactly the sort of thing we should be seeing out of the Democrats.
Crooks & Liars says:
I find it disturbingly surreal that in 2005, the government of the United States is debating torture. What the hell? Tonight, in cemeteries across this country, patriots are spinning in their graves.

A nation that has been a leader in the field of human rights has to have a Republican Senator stick his foot in the mouth of an administration that begs to act like the barbarians that it professes to despise.
