In a 222-199 vote, the House today passed the FY2008 Intelligence Authorization bill, which bans waterboarding and confines the CIA “to the interrogation tactics permitted by the Army Field Manual on Human Intelligence Collector Operations. Rep. Jerrold Nadler’s (D-NY) remarked, “[This] means no more torture, no more waterboarding, no more clever wordplay, no more evasive answers, no more dishonesty.”
Yesterday, 30 retired generals and admirals wrote to Congress and urged lawmakers to ban waterboarding.

And what is sad is that 199 votes were from GOP!

This might sound wrong but I'll say it anyway. As the Middle East countries join together if one of these so called Law Makers ever get kidnapped by the enemy they will find out just what waterboarding is. Now most countries don't use waterboarding as it was during the Communist period. Vietnam used it and that's how the US Military found out about it. The enemy will be very selective and give a person what they gave out. Don't look for Lindsay Graham or other loafer boys going overseas after this vote on torture. Most of the honest troops will say your own your own sister aka brother Graham. My House Rep. Calvert would pee in his pants and offer himself to the enemy as not have have them waterboard him. Most likely they would refuse his offer knowing he is one dirty filthy person, you never know what you could catch.
