A controversial bill that would have levied criminal punishments on
intelligence officers for harsh interrogations was pulled
Thursday evening.
House Republicans charged Democrats with trying to
sneak a provision into the intelligence authorization bill that would establish
criminal punishment for CIA agents and other intelligence officials who engage
in “cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment” during interrogations.
Democrats inserted an 11-page addition into the bill late
Wednesday night as the House Rules Committee considered the legislation.

If you didn't see what Andrew McCarthy had to say about the provision that I posted earlier, here it is:
