Maybe I'm just plain obtuse, but
Could someone explain to me why ShrubCo would need to shut down CIA interrogations of suspected terrorists if the McCain plan is adopted? I guess this is yet another example of Bush's unilateralism of "You're either for us, or you're against us."

EDIT: From the NYTimes article..
"Gen. Michael V. Hayden, the C.I.A. director, has argued that the article’s prohibition against “outrages upon personal dignity” must be clarified so that troops and C.I.A. personnel know what is permissible in the interrogation of terrorism suspects."
This just reinforces my belief that members of this administration are (1) lacking basic intelligence, and/or (2) don't give a shit how the rest of the world views the USA. We've never had problems with the Geneva Convention before. Why now?
