Accessories to Torture
October 16, 2006 issue

This article comments on the compromise reached between U.S. senators, led by John McCain, and U.S. President George W. Bush, on a torture bill. The author says it's a grim day for the Constitution and calls the compromise a catastrophe. The bill still strips detainees of the right to appeal, broadens Bush's unilateral powers to decide who is an enemy and which interrogation methods violate the Geneva Convention, and undermines the War Crimes Act.
