McCain, Bush agree on torture ban

Wow, this is a moment that should go down in our history like the Great Compromise. Imagine, the leader of our country and congress have tentatively agreed that torturing people is a bad thing, and that it really ought to be banned. Next up for our forward-thinking leaders, a ban on taking candy from babies. (although I'm sure the administration will argue for a provision exempting the CIA, in case said candy is actually part of a terrorist plot.)

    Yeah, it's a pretty hollow victory.

    In a sense, it's actually too bad. I would have liked to see Bush try to defend vetoing a ban on torture.

    Anyone still supporting him would have been all for it, anyway.
