I would announce that we are not ever going to torture anyone held in American custody.
Anyone remember "America doesn't torture?" The plural of anecdote is bullshit.
I suspect McCain will be getter on limiting US use of torture than Bush has been, especially given his legislation on torture from 2005 and his verbal commitment to close Guantanamo. However, his vote last week opposing legislation that would put limits on the interrogation techniques the CIA can use, including waterboarding, is suspect... it is interesting because his original 2005 legislation would have banned torture techniques by all US personnel, but then he had to get an exemption for the CIA in order for Bush to sign it... I wonder if McCain really wanted to support extending this ban to the CIA, but decided instead to honor a deal with Bush that he made in 2005? Kyle Atwell
