Is John McCain Delusional That No Torture Will Be Performed?

Sen. John McCain, one of the three GOP holdouts over a White House-pushed bill to allow torture and other hardly good things, now says the compromise means the U.S. will NOT torture prisoners.

Now, from what I've read on this subject, I can only conclude that one of two things is happening with McCain since it looks like torture will very much be on the terror boot camp menu offerings:

1) McCain is lying flat out
2) McCain is deluded


If a pacifist from Vermont who has not been in a prison camp as McCain was can tell the Bushies very much plan to continue using torture to "break" people, I'm afraid I have to assume that the answer is #1: McCain is lying and he knows he is. See my previous post on how McCain appeared when he came out to tell the press "the integrity of the Geneva Conventions" would remain intact. His expression not only indicated he was lying, it also rang out loudly that he had anesthetized himself to this outcome.
