what we called the "torture bill" when we had control of both Houses. That bill rammed through before the 2006 elections condoned torture according to Senators like Kerry, Kennedy, Dodd, Leahy and other. His is a link to an incredibly strong indictment of the bill and the US using torture in a 5 minute Kerry speech. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/SenateSession3786

Kennedy tried to pass an amendment that would at least outlaw 10 practices, including waterboarding that the military itself already prohibited- but it failed. We put people in prison for decades for waterboarding as Kennedy said in his speech - http://www.c-spanvideo.org/videoLibrary/clip.php?appid=595638891

Both speeches and others on that day are worth reviewing.
