Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is bucking much of his party and coming to the defense of a Senate Intelligence Committee report on the CIA’s controversial interrogation tactics.

“It’s a thorough study of practices that I believe not only failed their purpose to secure actionable intelligence... but actually damaged our security interests as well as our reputation as a force for good in the world,” McCain said in a speech on the Senate floor shortly after the report was released.
“I believe the American people have a right — indeed, a responsibility — to know what was done in their name, how these practices did or did not serve their interests and how they comported our most important values,” he said.

McCain, who was kept as a prisoner of war for five years during the Vietnam War, has been one of the most vocal critics of waterboarding and other harsh interrogation methods used during former President George W. Bush’s administration.

McCain comes to defense of CIA critics



So.....could any of you who are here defending Bush & Cheney, torture (enhanced interrogation or whatever you prefer to call it) & the benefits of it that you claim look Sen. McCain in the eye & tell him he's wrong? I really doubt it.
