White House spokesman Scott McClellan said President Bush would likely veto the defense spending bill if McCain's language were included, calling the amendment “unnecessary and duplicative.” McClellan said existing law already prohibits the mistreatment of prisoners in American custody, and the amendment “would limit the president's ability as commander-in-chief to effectively carry out the war on terrorism.”

That is one pithy set of reasons to veto the legislation. If the administration finds it duplicative and they are already conforming to the law, then why the veto?
