He may agree to attempt to give the regime's war criminals some kind of immunity from prosecution. I don't think an act of Congress should or could tell international tribunals who they can and can't prosecute, but they'll try. I can see McCain joining that effort.
But I don't see him ever saying that there's nothing wrong with torturing POWs, even the regime just wants Congress to say that it's not torturing POWs but applying harsh interrogation techniques to illegal combatants. I'll give McCain credit for knowing Orwellian language when he hears it and having as much distaste for it as Orwell did.
