US Senate Approves Waterboarding Ban
The Senate has approved a ban on several CIA interrogation tactics including waterboarding. The 51-45 vote sets the stage for a clash with the White House following a veto threat from President Bush. The House passed a similar measure late last year. Among the senators voting against the waterboarding ban was Republican presidential hopeful John McCain. McCain has previously criticized waterboarding and is widely known as a leading congressional opponent of torture.
