Remember the Senate bill that would bar "cruel and degrading treatment of any prisoners in U.S. custody" that passed 90-9 a few weeks ago? Cheney wants an exemption for the CIA.

But then we're back with an ambiguous definition that can be interpreted in multiple ways.

If the bill exemption for the CIA goes through, will it still be possible for the American people to avoid culpability by claiming that they didn't know what was going on?
