This is an Article I found in the Los Angelos Times about the banning of waterboarding. Waterboarding is a technique used in interogation where the illusion of drowning is given. The CIA has not used waterboarding in over five years but maintains the option in the "case of an imminent attack". Senators McCain, Clinton and Obama have all condemed it has an atrocity. McCain goes on to say that it was inconceivable that "anyone could believe that [waterboarding is] not torture. It's in violation of the Geneva Convention. It's in violation of existing law". This is a good article to read because this a step forward for our nation. We can not just be a nation that talks of rights we must adhere to them as well.
