According to
an MSNBC story Bush will announce that he's agreed to support Sen. John McCain's ban on torture. You know, the torture that Bush claims we don't engage in but should be allowed to do even though "we don't torture" and all that.
"After months of resistance, the White House has agreed to accept Sen. John McCain's call for a law specifically banning cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment of foreign suspects in the war on terror, several congressional officials said Thursday.
The congressional officials spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they did not want to pre-empt an expected announcement later in the day at the White House, possibly by President Bush and McCain."
Two flies in the ointment that I see, though... one is the resistance to this legislation in the house. Bush can sign on in support of the law all he wants if he knows that it won't make it past his friends in the house of representatives. Second is that these guys have never shown any regard for the laws already on the books in the first place. If this passes, it will just give them one more to ignore.
