Senate Limits Military Interrogation

Thursday October 6, 2005
The Washington Post reports that 90 Senators have voted "define and limit interrogation techniques that U.S. troops may use against terrorism suspects." Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), led the fight for the restrictions: "... what we lose when by official policy or by official negligence we allow, confuse or encourage our soldiers to forget . . . that which is our greatest strength: that we are different and better than our enemies." The President has announced a major address on Iraq at 10.10 am EDT Thursday.
