“So far I know of no information that was obtained, that would have been useful, by ‘advanced interrogation.’ In fact, according to published reports … some of the key people who knew about this courrier denied it,” McCain said, careful to note that he was not relaying information from Panetta’s classified session with Senate Intelligence and Armed Services Committee members.

“Where there is published information in the various newspapers and media that the information about this courrier was intercepted conversation between two individuals — that’s as far as I know,” the top Republicans on the Armed Services Committee added. “I stand on the side of the United States and by the Geneva conventions, of which we are signatories, which we were in violation of by waterboarding.”

2. Good for him to stand up. Maybe he's

retrieving a bit of the honor that was once attributed to him. I don't trust him, don't like him, and don't respect him but I'll give credit where it's due.

5. +1. I respect McCain's courage, honesty, and candor.

And that's about as far as it goes.

7. Bwah-HAH !1 Finally, Mc5planes does a teeny thing that helps.

Given his POW status, wingnuts might give him creedence at least on this.

8. "advanced interrogation"?

Is that a new euphemism for torture or did he just misspeak?

11. Oh crap

Makes it sound like a new and improved high tech version of interrogation. They are so shameless.

9. I respect him for this but because of

the whole huggy bear move he made towards Bush and his embrace of most of the Bush policies in an attempt to gain the whitehouse as well as his pick of Palin (the final nail in the coffin) I will probably never vote for him if it comes to any higher seat in office than he has now.
