The Military Commisions Act

The bill forbids treatment of detainees that would constitute war crimes - such as torture, rape and biological experiments - but gives the president the authority to decide which other techniques interrogators can use.

But as they say, the devil is in the details

The acts of torture now made legal and wholesome include the burning of flesh, the breaking of bones, the placing of needles under fingernails, the tearing of limbs, the disfiguring of faces, and the infliction of general bodily injury that may or may not entail – the fine print of the law isn't clear, making it all the more nefarious, as fine print always is – the loss of a finger or a toe or a testicle.

If this is true I really don't know what to say. If it is it will be perversely ironic considering The Onion was joking around a couple weeks ago about congress debating what voltage of electricity was too extreme to use on male or female genitalia during interrogation.
