The Senate [led by our favorite Arizona republican, John McCain--Jake] defied the White House yesterday and voted to set new limits on interrogating detainees in Iraq and elsewhere, underscoring Congress’s growing concerns about reports of abuse of suspected terrorists and others in military custody.
That is really great. The best part–this was a truly bipartisan vote (46 republicans, 43 dems, one free-thinking misanthrope), expressly against the wishes of the executive branch. It’s almost as if they were thinking for themselves!
Anyway, I’m pretty sure this was all spurred by my furious invective yesterday. I’m saving the world, one overwrought and oversimplified polemic at a time.
