This afternoon Sen. John McCain who is, as far as I know, the only congressional official to endure torture while a POW, voted against a ban on waterboarding.  You read that correctly: McCain, the straight-talking maverick, voted against banning the CIA from using torture. 

Good news is the bill passed the senate, 51-45.

Bad news?  Bush says he’ll veto the legislation precisely because it contains a ban on torture.

What has happened to our country?
