It would have got banned the Central Intelligence Agency from using not only water-boarding - which imitates drowning - but also centripetal want and other rough coercive techniques.

White House fourth estate secretary Danu Perino hailed the House vote, saying a successful turn over of the veto "would have got diminished the intelligence community's ability to protect our nation".
