kaolelo rated 5 months ago- Today, the Senate brought the Intelligence Authorization Bill to the floor, which contained a provision from Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) establishing one interrogation standard across the government. The bill requires the intelligence community to abide by the same standards as articulated in the Army Field Manual and bans waterboarding. Just hours ago, the Senate voted in favor of the bill, 51-45. Earlier today, ThinkProgress noted that Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), a former prisoner of war, has spoken strongly in favor of implementing the Army Field Manual standard. When confronted today with the decision of whether to stick with his conscience or cave to the right wing, McCain chose to ditch his principles and instead vote to preserve waterboarding

- Once again, the commenters section has done such a poignant job ... "Woo-hoo!!! McMaverick wantstatorture!!! Whattapatriot!!!!!!" // "Won't see much to do about this in the corporate media. That is you won't see the media talking heads using the words McCain and flip-flop in the same breath." // "Waterboarding WAS torture, IS torture and WILL be torture. Period." // "See?? He's a Wartime President. It's LEGAL because Chimpy McStagger sez so! The US of A - right on par w/ the Inquisition, the Nazis, and the Khmer Rouge!" // "Ah, pandering to the subhuman scum of our population. Politics before country, ethics, morals and what is right. The right is just so wrong. Maybe a new term for them, the "Not Right"" // "No, we don't need another dictator-in-charge, eight years is enough, thank you. His stay in a Vietnam prison camp (another country we invaded without cause) is no qualification for president or any other position." // "John McCain - conceding the moral high ground just like the Chimperor." // "It is a shameful day when a former POW votes in favor of the United States torturing the POW's it is currently holding." // "Whores are whores, regardless of the profession, and the only thing they quibble on is the price." // "To essentially make torture legal is a stain on America that will last a long time." // "McCain has sold his soul to Cheney for the vote of the rightwing bedwetters." // "Anyone who knows what waterboarding is could not be unsure. It is a horrible torture technique used by Pol Pot and being used on Buddhist monks as we speak," - Senator John McCain (R-AZ)" ... proving once again, that blogging is such a good idea ...

- "John McCain: He was against waterboarding before he was for it."
