Stopping Torture

Andrew Sullivan quotes Senator McCain's very eloquent and passionate statement in support of his legislation, passed in the Senate by a vote of 90-9, to bar US soldiers from committing acts of torture and abuse that our president has allowed. He also quotes former Secretary of State Colin Powell's letter to the senator, expressing his support for the legislation. Of course our highly so-called moral president doesn't want to be told he can't torture and abuse whoever he wants, so he has threatened to veto the legislation.
