On Capitol Hill, the Senate is expected to vote today to approve Michael Chertoff to become the new Homeland Security Director. The vote has been delayed for a week as Democrats unsuccessfully called on the Bush administration to release in full a secret FBI memo that discussed the treatment of detainees at Guantanamo Bay. Chertoff headed the Justice Department’s criminal division following the Sept. 11th attacks but he has denied approving any interrogation techniques that violate anti-torture laws.
