NPR : Detainee Legislation Driven by Court Decision

NPR : Detainee Legislation Driven by Court Decision: "Evidence obtained through coercive interrogation tactics that the Bush administration doesn't consider torture (such as 'waterboarding,' where a detainee is made to believe he's drowning, or 'stress positions,' where a detainee is made to sit or stand in a painful position for extended periods of time) may be used under some circumstances.

The bill also addresses statements that were obtained before Congress passed a ban on coercive interrogation tactics in 2005. In those instances, a judge must rule on the admissiability of the statement, determining if it is 'reliable and possessing sufficient probative value,' and if it serves 'the interests of justice.'"
