Wow...

The Armed Services Committee of the U.S. Senate approved their own, more sensible, version of a terrorist detainee bill over a version backed by the president .

With bi-partisan support.

The administration's version of the bill would not allow classified evidence to be used by defendants but would allow coerced testimony to be used. It also would protect interrogators from prosecution if they violate Geneva convention rules.

This seems like a bad idea to a lot of folks on both sides of the aisle (as well as to those of us happily in between).

John Warner, John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Susan Collins all oppose the president on this.

Even Colin Powell is against it: "The world is beginning to doubt the moral basis of our fight against terrorism".

Tony Snow says Powell is just 'confused'.

Well, Snow's partly correct... someone is confused.
