JUS IN BELLO: By now, you already know that the Senate voted “90-9 to approve an amendment that would prohibit the use of ‘cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment’ against anyone in U.S. government custody, regardless of where they are held.” The nine nay votes are
Wayne Allard, R-Colorado,
Christopher S. Bond, R-Missouri,
Tom Coburn, R-Oklahoma,
Thad Cochran, R-Mississippi,
John Cornyn, R-Texas,
James M. Inhofe, R-Oklahoma,
Pat Roberts, R-Kansas,
Jeff Sessions, R-Alabama,
and Ted Stevens, R-Alaska.
Jon Corzine, D-New Jersey, didn’t cast a vote.

Thomas Nephew has lots of rule-mongering on what happens now, in the House, plus suggestions on what can be done to ensure the restrictions aren’t gutted.
