Here's the background details.
Mr. Murtha moved that the House instruct conferees.
DEBATE - The House proceeded with one hour of debate on the Murtha motion to instruct conferees. The instructions contained within the motion seek to direct the managers on the part of the House to agree to the provisions contained in section 8154 of the Senate amendment, relating to uniform standards for the interrogation of persons under the detention of the Department of Defense; and agree to section 8155 of the Senate amendment, relating to prohibition on cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment of persons under custody or control of the United States government.
And when the vote came up to instruct the conferees to oppose torture, 121 Republicans took their stand against that instruction.
121 of 228, a majority.
Under the fold, I'll expose them and give you links to opponents.

---------------
The fact is pretty clearcut.
Democrats and some Republicans voted to instruct the House Conference Committee to approve of a ban on torture.
The Majority of Republicans voted against that instruction.
It's clearcut.
And you all know the best way to reply to the 121 Republicans who voted against supporting a torture ban. Right?
