It sounds good to those concerned about the terrorists in Gitmo...it doesn't actually FORBID anything however.
He is a slick lawyer.
Quote:
On Thursday, President Obama signed an executive order banning any interrogation technique not approved in the Army Field Manual. That means no stress positions, sleep deprivation or waterboarding of terrorist suspects. (The CIA says it hasn't used waterboarding since 2003.)

I think it interesting to see how politicians work...

I think most will eventually wake up and realize he is what he is, another politician making his mark.
I hope for the day when real reform comes to DC but unless people stop being sheep it won't happen.
