McCain continues his transition to McCain 2.0 with his torture vote, as an LA Times editorial points out:

...Sen. McCain (R-Ariz.) should have voted last week for legislation sponsored by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) that would remove any doubt that CIA interrogators are forbidden to engage in waterboarding and other tactics banned by the Army Field Manual. Instead, McCain squandered some of his moral authority by supporting the Bush administration's position that the CIA should have more leeway than military interrogators. [...] In voting to give Bush that inch, McCain has been untrue to his principles.
