I wish I had mod points. The McCain Torture Ban, as written, is an absolute ban on torture. The "legalization" you refer to comes from a "signing statement" by President Bush. A signing statement is when the President signs a bill into law and says "Part X of the law is unclear, so I'm going to interpret it to mean Y." In this case, President Bush said "The part of the Torture Ban about whether torture is banned is unclear, so I'm going to interpret it to mean 'Torture is NOT banned.'" John McCain waved the bullshit flag. A day or so after the signing statement was made public, McCain was asked about it and said, "If Bush didn't like the bill, he should have vetoed it" and then promised that if he was elected, he wouldn't make any signing statements at all. John McCain is NOT in favor of torture.
You may be correct with regards to the "McCain Torture Ban" legislation, however, McCain has shown his support of torture in other ways since then. For example:
Senator John McCain voted against a bill to curtail the C.I.A.'s use of harsh interrogation tactics... The bill, which the Senate passed Wednesday by 51 to 45, would force the C.I.A. to abide by the rules set out in the Army Field Manual on Interrogation, which prohibits physical force and lists approved interrogation methods.
It seems a lot of people make comments about the taste of piss. With these comments, I can assume that you all have actually tasted piss? If this is fact, then why should I trust the opinion of a person who has tasted piss?
Obviously, if a person has tasted piss, then they must be damaged somehow.
Why does everyone think you *NEED* to buy a modchip for the Xbox? Using the proven "UDE softmod" method, all you need is a rented game, a homemade USB2Xbox adapter and a USB thumbdrive to mod your Xbox. Total cost: $5-10 You don't even have to "crack open" your Xbox to do this!
And yes, this will 100% unlock your Xbox just the same as a $50 modchip would.
