Honestly Congress should stick its nose out of it, and let the Pentagon handle it.
Congress refuses to handled their business ,but wants to stick their nose in everyone elses. ( pentagon, MLB, NFL, NCAAA, etc....)
The Republican congressional revolution that Newt started has become corrupt - it is time to throw them out.

It's extremely unrealistic to believe that we can plop a terrorist down in a chair at one of those little wooden tables, offer him a cup of coffee and say "so...about that bioterrorism attack you had planned...how 'bout you tell us all about that?" and anything is going to happen. We're dealing with people who strap bombs to themselves and to what we consider children and blow up large groups of stranger in the name of their god. They're going to require a "special touch" if we actually plan on getting any information out of them.
We have one huge shade of grey area here. Nobody likes the idea of torture, but we have to face the fact that fequently it's going to be necessary. One has to decide which team one is on and play for that team.
Will it be abused? Of course it will. Everything is.
