I would be very surprised if this stops anyone being tortured.

However, I'm glad it's on record that when we do torture people we are breaking the law. That seemed pretty clear to me already, but not to the administration.

Now begins the endless backroom lawyerly discussion of how the words 'cruel' 'inhmuman' and 'degrading' are defined. After all, who's to say waterboarding is any of those things?
