GOP Senators Push Detainee Treatment Rules
Finally, some Republicans are doing something I can get behind.
"What we're trying to do here is make sure there are clear and exact standards set for interrogation of prisoners," McCain said on the Senate floor.
Exactly. Why would anyone oppose that unless they are doing something that wouldn't fit into those standards. It's amazing that we don't have standards like this in place.
Sen. Jeff Sessions (news, bio, voting record), R-Ala., shot back, "I reject the idea that this Defense Department and our Army and our military is out of control, is confused about what their powers and duties and responsibilities are."
Well, then you haven't really seen the pictures and accounts detailing what some of the "few bad apples" have done to people. And anyway, even if you're right, then what's the harm in setting acceptable standards to follow?

They had other important stuff to do. Like make sure that you and I have the right to buy a .50cal sniper rifle. You never know when you need to shoot a tank from a mile away
Yeah, and they need to make sure that 17 year olds can't play Grand Theft Auto.
True. I would rather have my kids acting out violence on th estreets instead of a video game too. Guns don't kill people, video games and music do
