Here's how everyone voted. No surprise that ALL the Republicans with the honorable exceptions of Chaffee(RI) and Snowe(ME) voted for torture and to save Bush's ass so that he and his thugs can't now be tried for torture and war crimes. Jeffords(I-VT) also joins the really good guys list. Note too that those upright, downright square-shooters McCain, Warner and Graham folded up like the cheap suits they are. I'd like to hear why those 12 Democrats(Lieberman is one of them, of course) thought they had to vote for torture and to save Bush's ass. I'd like to hear them and every one of those Republicans give an answer repeatedly all the time until they are next up for election.

It isn't far to go before American citizens are subject to torture.

Have you seen daytime TV?

Daytime TV? It's too painful to watch. Alas Drudge Retort has become my TV substitute. It's almost as painful, but at least I don't have to suffer in silence.

Such an utter disgrace. This is the worst tme in Modern History for the United States of America. Hell even Nixon was going to get charged. What a shame it is.

Go Snowe!

I couldn't be any more happy. I hope that this bill's passage opens the door for painful and unproven techniques to be randomly used on the jihadi's.

101Chairborne-
It doesn't "open the door", it merely codifies into law what was already being done. And most of the techniques aren't unproven, they'd been used by the Gestapo and the Stalinists and the Imperial Japanese, though their record of success with torture is debatable in the curious conversation we seem to be having.
