Besides the army and the CIA itself banning many torture methods in 2003 President Bush still maintains that they should be used. You'd think he'd listen to the decisions of the Intelligence community.
Finally the Democrats seem to be getting a little bit more backbone. Maybe Pelose was emberassed when it was revealed that she had viewed detainees and not objected to their treatment earler in the decade.
Thirty retired admirals and generals, including the investegator of Abu Ghraib have written a formal letter requesting the passing of Section 327 of the Conference Report on the Intelligence Authorization Act.
"The administration particularly opposes restricting the CIA to interrogation methods approved by the military in 2006. That document prohibits forcing detainees to be naked, perform sexual acts, or pose in a sexual manner; placing hoods or sacks over detainees' heads or duct tape over their eyes; beating, shocking, or burning detainees; threatening them with military dogs; exposing them to extreme heat or cold; conducting mock executions; depriving them of food, water, or medical care; and waterboarding."
