This afternoon, the House is set to attempt an override of President Bush’s veto of the intelligence authorization bill late last week. Bush vetoed the bill, remember, because it would have prevented the CIA from using “enhanced interrogation” techniques. Critics — Dems, military and national security experts among them — say that the CIA’s program has accomplished nothing more than destroying the U.S.’s image in the world.
The House, of course, would require a two-thirds majority to override the veto. We’ll let you know how it goes.
