Bush Vetoed Waterboarding Bill

From the news that's fit for print, this article outlines Bush's veto on a bill prohibiting the CIA from interrogation practices such as waterboarding. Pundits can make what they want out of the motives and ramifications, but for the purpose of this class there is some intriguing elements at play. This is Bush's 9th
veto in his career, however the last 8 have come all within the last
year. Obviously, his ideal point as an agenda setter is outside the
tastes of Congress at this moment. However Congress lacks the votes to
override and it seems that with the expansion of executive powers, even
if they didprohibit it the practice would likely still be used. Legicide.
