The 1600 Crew, and in particular Preznit Yellow Stripe has decided to go along with John McCain's anti-torture language to get legislation passed.
The White House, after weeks of resistance, agreed today to Senator John McCain's call for a law specifically banning cruel or inhuman treatment of terror suspects anywhere in the world.
Mr. McCain met with President Bush at the White House this afternoon, and an announcement of a deal followed.
...
Late Wednesday, in a rare bipartisan rebuke to the administration, the House of Representatives voted, 308 to 122, to endorse a measure by Mr. McCain to bar cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment of prisoners in American custody anywhere in the world.
That vote was nonbinding. ...
I'm pretty sure that once the legislation passes either the 1600 Crew will instruct it's minions that Preznit Rabbit Shit is a "war time Preznit" and to just quietly ignore the pesky legislation, because after all, the "bipartisan" support was non-binding, or, they are going to not even bother with the niceties of acting concerned with the law and ignore the legislation knowing full well that as long as the republicans control both houses of hill-repute the chances of an investigation are about the same as my winning the powerball.
