Setting up a possible veto showdown with the White House, the Senate voted overwhelmingly for an amendment to a Pentagon spending bill that sets standards for the treatment of prisoners in U.S. military custody.

The measure, sponsored by Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, would require American troops to follow interrogation standards set in the Army Field Manual and bar "cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment" of prisoners in U.S. custody.

You're generalizing from the cases of abuse that we know of to every single interrogation that takes place, and I'm not sure that that's a valid induction.

I say this because of the comments that you make, e.g. "They don't make torturers get tortured" which indicate that you are equating all interrogation with torture. Undergoing torture isn't part of interrogation training because that's not what interrogation is.

But the way you frame your statement leads one to the conclusion that you believe torture to be essential to the nature of interrogation.
