One of the problems with the “torture” situation is that “torture” is never defined specifically. It’s been suggested that Congress come up with a list. What counts, what doesn’t?
Yesterday instead of a specific list, those in charge of interrogations have received more fuzzy orders.
While the country and the Congress have their eyes on today’s dog-and-pony show on socialized medicine, House Democrats last night stashed a new provision in the intelligence bill which is to be voted on today. It is an attack on the CIA: the enactment of a criminal statute that would ban “cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment.”
I find it very degrading to be in handcuffs and put into a cell? You?
