Big Deal?

I must admit that I find this whole moral superiority thing from McCain & others really frustrating. I mean, why in the hell are we even talking about banning torture at this late date in our democracy? I always, & apparently naively, figured that Americans just didn't want torture as a national value. But then again, this is not the country I imagined as a young person. Merry Xmas, y'all.

"President Bush yesterday agreed to accept Senator John McCain's bill barring US officials from abusing terrorist suspects, with the White House reversing course after months of resistance when it became clear that its refusal to endorse a torture ban left the president politically isolated."
