Let it be known: House Democrats oppose waterboarding — the process of drowning a detainee that’s so severe even those who think it “works” don’t think we should do it — and House Republicans support it. The House yesterday voted to restrict CIA interrogation methods to the Geneva Conventions-compliant provisions outlined in the Army’s field manual on interrogation. The bill passed on a nearly party-line vote. President Bush, a self-described Christian, promises a veto.
