From Brian Beutler:The Senate just voted the Intelligence authorization conference package out of the Senate. It included a provision banning the use of waterboarding by universalizing the interrogation tactics in the Army Field Manual. I'm still not exactly sure why most Republicans voted to invoke cloture on the package, but they did. And when it came to the floor, the final tally was 51-45. One of those 45 was the Sultan of Straight Talk, John McCain. Just so we're clear: McCain was okay with the idea of our guys using waterboarding.
