Senate Amendment Calls for a Return to Bush-Era Torture
Jeffrey Kaye, Truthout: 'An amendment by Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-New Hampshire) to the current Defense Authorization Bill (SA 1068) now before Congress would roll back the 2009 Obama executive order against torture by re-establishing a secret 'classified' set of interrogation techniques and then attaching them to the current 'Army Field Manual' on human intelligence collection. But whether the amendment passes or not, the existence of certain interrogation techniques as used currently by the US military and intelligence services in the 'Manual' do not comply with international norms, such as the Geneva Conventions.'
