Immunity for the CIA?

Earlier this month the Senate voted to ban the use of "cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment" of any detainee we hold. Now, Cheney and Goss want to exclude the CIA from this ban. Their reasoning is that such a ban on the CIA would hinder the global war on terror. What effect does excusing the CIA have on our national conscience?

I've been having trouble finding the national conscience lately. Good question though.
