Will McCain Vote Against Waterboarding Today?

Today, at 10:30 a.m. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is expected to bring to the floor the Intelligence Authorization Conference Report. One provision in the legislation, pushed by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), establishes a single interrogation standard requiring the intelligence community to abide by the same standards as articulated in the Army Field Manual....

...Today, the Senate will vote on cloture on the conference report, a procedure that requires 60 votes to proceed. Reid "will need some Republicans to cross party lines" for the anti-torture measure to pass. Reid said McCain "could be a major swing vote" today.
