"We are not conducting a law enforcement operation against a check-writing scam or trying to foil a bank heist," said Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
"Some want to tie the hands of our terror fighters," said Sen. Christopher Bond, R-Mo., alluding to opponents of the bill. "They want to take away the tools we use to fight terror, to handcuff us, to hamper us in our fight to protect our families."

Are Republican senators always this logically fallacious, or is this reduction misleading?
And as far as American interrogation techniques are concerned...
* Induced hypothermia
* Forcing suspects to stand for prolonged periods
* Sleep deprivation
* The "attention grab" where a suspect's shirt is forcefully seized
* The "attention slap" or open hand slapping that hurts but does not lead to physical damage
* The "belly slap"
* Sound manipulation
* Light manipulation

...a Wet Willy or demeaning language causes "discomfort," the above techniques are more along the lines of inhumane. It's disappointing that they're actually legislating the practice of terrorizing the terrorists. And is this before or after being proven guilty? I guess we'll have to wait until the president is finished with his signing statements.
This is yet another sign that this is not a war against terrorism.
