Congress Tries to Stem the Loss of Dungeon Master Jobs to Egypt and Syria
The House of Representatives went out of their way to vote on an ammendment to a defense spending bill to "ban the use of federal money to transfer terror suspects to countries that are believed to torture prisoners." It was largely a symbolic gesture that "reaffirms a 1994 treaty barring torture of detainees in American custody, whether in the United States or in countries known for human rights violations." The consensus on this was pretty amazing actually: the ammendment was approved 420-2. Kinda sad that this was necessary to reaffirm though.
