White House Closer on McCain Torture Ban

WASHINGTON (AP) - After months of resistance, the White House has agreed to accept Sen. John McCain's call for a law specifically banning cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment of foreign suspects in the war on terror, several congressional officials said Thursday.

The congressional officials spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they did not want to pre-empt an expected announcement later in the day at the White House, possibly by President Bush and McCain.

He's trying to figure out a way to imprison and torture McCain.

We have to keep kicking his ass.

They'll just go under deeper cover anyway.
