Torture and Good Faith
"We are working hard in good faith on both sides to come up with an approach that can be supported by the president and the Congress, to both find a way to be aggressive in the war on terror and still comply with U.S. law," national security adviser Stephen Hadley said on "Fox News Sunday." [Reuters]
Sounds good, right . . . WRONG! This is a debate about exempting the CIA from legislation that would write a ban on torture into US law rather than just rely on international treaty. There is never good faith when it comes to torture.
There are issues where political compromise is good. This issue is not one on them.
Also, is there a slight implication that the Administration might not obey the law if the Cain amendment is past and a veto sustained? I'm just not sure what the words, "and still comply with the law" mean.
