About McCain's anti-torture amendment

[annabanana]

Truthout tells us that the House has overwhelmingly supported McCain's legislation:

"The vote also likely represents the lone opportunity that House members will have to express their sentiments on Mr. McCain's legislation. The Senate approved the measure in October, 90 to 9, as part of a military spending bill. But until Wednesday, the House Republican leadership had sought to avoid a direct vote on the measure to avoid embarrassing the White House.
The vote was on a motion to instruct House negotiators, who had just been appointed to work out differences between the House and Senate spending bills, to accept the Senate position on the McCain amendment.
The House bill, providing $453 billion for military programs, has no provision like Mr. McCain's, but if the negotiators follow these instructions to the letter, the final bill passed by Congress will.
The House vote was 308 to 122, with 107 Republicans lining up along with almost every Democrat behind Representative John P. Murtha, the Pennsylvania Democrat who sponsored Mr. McCain's language and who has become anathema to the administration on any legislative measure related to Iraq since his call last month to withdraw American troops from Iraq in six months."


The question is
1) Will the final bill contain the language, and if it DOES.
2) Will the idiot son veto it?

(Can anyone point me to a list of which Republicans in the House supported McCain?)

1. This is not an anti-torture amendment

It is an amendment that says the USA doesn't torture. McCain knows the USA will still continue to use torture. McCain doesn't care about who the USA tortures. He is just concerned with the bad publicity it presents. Otherwise he would have said something about it years ago when he knew it was going on and before we got caught doing it. Fuck McCain.

2. You got it.

Good assessment - the bill means nothing. McCain is an ass.
