"While saying the United States does not engage in torture, the White House opposed McCain's amendment, contending that putting anti-torture rules into law would hamper interrogators' ability to obtain information from prisoners by making them less fearful."

Okay...so we don't engage in torture, but an anti-torture law would hamper investigations by making them less fearful? Why would they be fearful if it wasn't already known that we *do* in fact use torture, stooping ourselves to the level of those we used to soundly condemn? :wtf:

I want my country back, dammit! :grr:
