In other words, Who Would Jesus Torture?

I largely avoid political discussions here. But this is a deeply disturbing issue, no matter one's political affiliations - or at least it should be for those of us who claim to follow the Prince of Peace.

If you haven't heard, Senator McCain has sponsored a bill (more correctly, an amendment to a Defense Appropriations bill) that would establish uniform treatment standards for enemy combatants held by US troops. The bill passed the Senate with an overwhelming majority. The Bush administration has threatened to veto the bill if passed by the House. Personally, I'm horrified that this is even a matter of debate.
