The McCain-Graham anti-torture amendment passed the Senate last night by a startling 90-9 margin.  Curiously, none of the articles I saw listed the nine senators who voted to continue torturing detainees.

Fortunately, senate.gov did post a roll call:

That was Ted Stevens lying through his teeth again.

What the amendment says is "follow the goddamn manual you already wrote." It doesn't call for writing any new manuals.
