He should reject it, outright. "Tortured Logic" indeed:

“Administration officials and their allies in the House have sought at every turn to deny any legal right or recourse to detainees at Guantanamo and elsewhere,” the senator said in a statement released by his office last week. “I do not believe that we should have gone down the road of limiting legal remedies for detainees in the manner that we did. However, we have done our best to preserve a meaningful opportunity for detainees to challenge the legality of their detention in federal court. While we have not succeeded as well as I would have liked, the provision in the conference report does not, in my view, justify opposing a defense authorization bill which includes many provisions needed by our troops in a time of war and the McCain amendment barring cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment.”


Goody for you, Carl. You've "done your best". This give them the loophole that makes the McCain amendment worthless.
