Manual Dexterity
No person in the custody or under the effective control of the Department of Defense or under detention in a Department of Defense facility shall be subject to any treatment or technique of interrogation not authorized by and listed in the United States Army Field Manual on Intelligence Interrogation.
____________________________________The White House, in a further indication of its strong feelings, bluntly warned in a statement sent to Capitol Hill on Thursday that President Bush's advisers would urge him to veto the $442 billion defense bill "if legislation is presented that would restrict the President's authority to protect Americans effectively from terrorist attack and bring terrorists to justice."
______________________________The Army has approved a new, classified set of interrogation methods .... The techniques are included in a 10-page classified addendum to a new Army field manual that was forwarded this week to Stephen A. Cambone, the under secretary of defense for intelligence policy._______________________________
The White House backed down to a forceful campaign by maverick Republican senator John McCain .... "This agreement basically does two things: One, puts into the Army Field Manual the specific procedures for interrogations.
________________________________
"We've been happy to work with him (McCain) to achieve a common objective ... we have worked very closely with the senator and others to achieve that objective."
