Denying the prohibition of prisoner torture - shameful and disgusting (cont'd)

This week, the White House blocked a Senate vote on a measure sponsored by a half-dozen Republicans, including Senator John McCain, that would prohibit cruel, degrading or inhumane treatment of prisoners. Besides being outrageous on its face, that action served as a reminder of how the Bush administration ducks for cover behind the men and women in uniform when challenged on military policy, but ignores their advice when it seems inconvenient.

one could always hope that tanking in the polls, eroding credibility, the disintegrating iraqi situation, and the repeated exposure of bald-faced lies would at least give these guys pause, but no... they keep right on going like some insane chucky version of the energizer bunny...
