US senatorshave voted overwhelmingly to outlaw cruel or degrading treatment of detainees held in US custody abroad.

Well I hope it comes to be. But the most interesting part I found in article was:

"The motion was opposed by the White House, which views it as unnecessary."

Like wtf?

"The motion was opposed by the White House, which views it as unnecessary."

More like, "The motion was opposed by the White House, which views torture as acceptable as long as it happens to brown, non-Christian people."
