McCain's first exec order: "we will never torture another person in the custody of the United States

http://blogs.usatoday.com/onpolitics/?loc=interstitialskip

McCain's romantic evening: Ordering Chinese food

Among the "25 questions for John McCain" in the issue of People magazine that goes on sale Friday is this exchange:

"What's the last romantic thing you've done for her (Cindy McCain)?"

"Let's see ... Over the weekend we ordered out, which was nice. Chinese. Didn't have to entertain anybody. Didn't have to have a political conversation. Didn't have to ask for any money."


McCain also addresses:

• The chances of Hillary Rodham Clinton being in a McCain cabinet -- "We have certain philosophical differences."

• The first executive order he would sign as president -- That "we will never torture another person in the custody of the United States of America."

• Something that makes him feel young -- "Hike. It not only makes you feel young, but in a state like Arizona, it always authenticates an appreciation for the beauties of nature."

3. What a crock of shit
"in the custody of the United States." Guess that doesn't cover the people we've been sending to Syria and god knows where else.

4. Yeah, we'll hand them over to Egyptian custody and let them do it.
Ok ok. I do feel McCain is against torture, for obvious reasons.
