Lawmakers are at odds in Washington over the necessity and the effectiveness, but yesterday the Senate Intelligence Committee finally approved a 6,000 page report on CIA detention and interrogation by a 9-6 vote. Most notably, Sen. John McCain, who was once a POW and victim of torture, was a no vote but showed support and spoke out against the use of torture as an interrogation technique by American forces.
