On September 28, 2006, Craig voted to suspend [[habeas corpus]] provisions for anyone deemed by the Executive Branch an "unlawful combatant," barring them from challenging their detentions in court. Craig's vote gave a retroactive, nine-year immunity to U.S. officials who authorized, ordered, or committed acts of torture and abuse, permitting the use of statements obtained through torture to be used in military tribunals so long as the abuse took place by December 30, 2005. Craig authorized the President to establish permissible interrogation techniques and to "interpret the meaning and application" of international [[Geneva Convention]] standards, so long as the coercion fell short of serious bodily or psychological injury.
