McCain warns Trump on torture, waterboarding - POLITICO:

"I don't give a damn what the president of the United States wants to do. We will not waterboard," McCain told an audience at the annual Halifax International Security Forum. "We will not torture people – It doesn't work."

On Saturday, McCain reminded the audience that torture remains illegal under the Geneva Conventions and was also banned by Congress last year.

That law, signed by President Barack Obama, restricts interrogation techniques to those outlined by the U.S. Army Field Manual — which does not permit waterboarding.

Good on you, Senator McCain. And thank you.
