美国. 议院流通票据到禁令“waterboarding”

如果乔治· W.，总统投票222-199，智力票据被送了到参议院，并且起作用。 布什标志它。

在被公开的票据的供应之中，你要求向委员会报告情报机构雇员是否依从保护为被拘留者免受残暴，无人道和贬低的治疗。 Another provision requires a report on the use of private contractors in intelligence work.

As the first intelligence authorization conference bill Congress has presented in three years, the bill also suspended 70 percent of the intelligence budget spending in 2008 until the House and Senate intelligence committees are briefed on Israel’s Sept. 6 air strike on an alleged nuclear site in Syria.

It also requires the creation of a new internal watchdog to oversee all the intelligence agencies.

The bill was approved days after CIA Director Michael Hayden testified at Congress hearings on the agency’s destruction of interrogating videotapes, reviving debate whether CIA was trying to cover torture on terrorist suspects including waterboarding.

However, the White House threatened to veto the bill this week, noting that they disagree with more than 11 areas of the bill, especially opposing restricting the CIA to interrogation methods approved by the U.S. military in 2006.
