Feinstein's Statement on Interrogations

So it looks like we are having some favorable movement in the government toward a renewed policy of anti-torture.

Incoming Senate Intelligence Committee chair Dianne Feinstein, a California Democrat, released a statement yesterday, clarifying her position on what standards the Obama Administration should use to govern interrogations. ....

Here is the new Feinstein statement:

I strongly believe there should be a single, clear standard for interrogation across the federal government, and that this standard should comply with the Geneva Convention, the United Nations Convention Against Torture, and U.S. law. I plan to introduce legislation in January that would close Guantanamo, make the Army Field Manual the single standard for interrogations, prohibit contractors from being used to carry out interrogations and provide the International Committee of the Red Cross with access to detainees. If the incoming administration decides to propose an alternative to this legislation, I am willing to hear its views. But I believe we must put an end to coercive interrogations by the CIA.

Bravo..
