This is just the Grand Old Torture Party trying to blow smoke up everybody's ass. The Enabling Act of 2006 will be struck down by the Supreme Court or repealed following a loss of the House or Senate. The bill was rushed through before Congress would adjourn, and its just a desperate ploy to immunize the White House and torturers from being in a world of shit for violating the Geneva Conventions, which the Supreme Court has ruled applies to "unlawful enemy combatants". Much like that bill, that designation has no legal force, and many torturers and their bosses could be facing charges of treason and charges akin to treason. These are death penalty offenses. This is more for the benefit of the Kool Aid drinkers and the talking heads who can say it has "legal authority".
Sorry for the long post, but this pisses me off completely.
