From BuzzFlash:
Bush's Blackmailing of America Appears to Have Worked. Frist Gets GOP Holdouts to Agree to Torture Bill, Although Final Language is Still Unclear. But You Can Bet Bush Got Pretty Much What He Wanted. This is All a Diversionary Tactic to Keep Americans Focused on the "Terror Narrative" and Off of the Fiasco in Iraq, As Well as An Effort to Proactively Get Bush Administation Officials Off the Hook for War Crimes.


Bush, GOP rebels agree on detainee bill

WASHINGTON - The White House and rebellious Senate Republicans announced agreement Thursday on rules for the interrogation and trial of suspects in the war on terror.
President Bush urged Congress to put it into law before adjourning for the midterm elections.

"I'm pleased to say that this agreement preserves the single most potent tool we have in protecting America and foiling terrorist attacks," the president said, shortly after administration officials and key lawmakers announced agreement following a week of high-profile intraparty disagreement.

Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record) of Arizona, one of three GOP lawmakers who told Bush he couldn't have the legislation the way he initially asked for it, said, "The agreement that we've entered into gives the president the tools he needs to continue to fight the war on terror and bring these evil people to justice."

"There's no doubt that the integrity and letter and spirit of the Geneva Conventions have been preserved," McCain said, referring to the international treaties covering the treatment of prisoners in wartime.
