Roberts is speaking it out also:
Kansas senator refuses to sign bill banning torture

U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan. says he doesn’t condone torture, but he believes that terror suspects have information that can save innocent American lives.
“One of the most valuable tools we have in getting this information is terrorists’ fear of the unknown,” Roberts, a Kansas Republican who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, told the Journal-World on Thursday.
That’s why Roberts was part of a small minority Wednesday to oppose a Senate measure banning “cruel, inhuman or degrading” treatment of prisoners held by U.S. forces. The act passed 90-9, with strong support from both Democrats and Republicans.
Roberts said the measure, if it becomes law, will give terrorists an unfair advantage.
“Passing a law that telegraphs to the entire world what (terror suspects) can expect, if caught, I think would be a great mistake,” he said.

They already know that they get three meals a day, five prayer calls a day and a free, unflushed Koran if they end up at Club Gitmo...
We have two senators from Kansas I expected to vote against this bill, Brownback and Roberts. Apparently the marine in Roberts shown through, but I am disappointed in Brownback, and he is running for POTUS.
