President Bush and Sen. John McCain have reached an agreement on legislation covering tribunals for enemy combatant suspects, NBC News reported Thursday.
Details on the deal were not immediately available.
The compromise comes amid a stalemate that has divided the House and Senate on the treatment of detainees. The two sides remained at odds this week over how to adhere to the 1949 Geneva Conventions and simultaneously give the CIA wide leeway to conduct interrogations.

Strategery.
Bush compromises on detainee interrogation and trials, which really don't matter that much in terms of preventing the next attack. Meanwhile, he gets exactly what he wants on the thing that really matters - eavesdropping on terrorists talking to people inside the U.S.

Gee, I wonder who is telling some networks that there is a deal?
To: tobyhill
Bush, McCain reach agreement on tribunal laws The White House threatened McCrazy - they told him if he didn't give in, they would lock him in a room alone with Chuck Schumer and a single television camera.
The thought of having to share, or fight over, the camera with Chuck the Schmuck was too much for the Manchurian Candidate to take...

And McEgo didn't want to add that one to the Geneva convention.
