11 Retired Military Leaders Endorse McCain Amendments to Pending Defense Bill that Would Reform U.S. Interrogation Policy; White House Threatens to Veto DOD Bill if McCain Amendments Included
WASHINGTON, July 24 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Eleven retired military leaders "strongly support" proposed amendments by U.S. Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) "requiring all interrogations of detainees in Department of Defense (DOD) custody to conform to the U.S. Army's Field Manual on Intelligence Interrogation (FM 34-52), and prohibiting the use of torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment by any U.S. government agency." The New York Times reported today that McCain could attach the amendments to the 2006 DOD authorization bill, which the Senate will debate this week, and that the White House is threatening to veto the DOD authorization bill if the McCain amendments are included in it (see article at http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/24/politics/24cheney.html? )
