| Description | Sen. John McCain argued Sunday that America's image abroad could be ruined if Congress doesn't ban the torture of prisoners in U.S. custody.
McCain, who was tortured during the Vietnam War, is the leading supporter of a provision banning such inhumane treatment.
White House officials, however, have threatened a presidential veto of any bill with restrictions on handling detainees, saying it would limit the president's ability to protect Americans and prevent a terrorist attack. |
