John Dean, White House legal counsel under Nixon, thinks the "The Bush/Cheney presidency has been pushing the nation toward an atrocity unmatched in the annals of American infamy and ignominy" in their efforts to change US law to permit the torture of terrorist suspects. Senator John McCain, a one of George Bush's rivals for the republican presidential nomination in 1999, and a victim of 5 years of torture during his military service in Vietnam, has been instrumental in blocking the plans.
Dean, author of Worse Than Watergate: The Secret Presidency of George W. Bush is not exactly known as a fan of the current presidential administration .
