Y'know, I didn't like writing that, but not because it was naive... I'm not sure I believe it, but I have even less faith in the layperson's ability to read a law and understand it. I'm certainly not trying to say we should blindly trust the government on anything, but I do believe something needed to happen in an attempt to at least clear this up enough so that the maiming and torturing could resume safely.
They may not read every bill, or even any of them, but I'm sure there are certain general qualifications something like this must contain for a vote to be cast in at least most cases. Maybe all it took was for McCain to sign off on it... Maybe that's good enough.
