3. I want them all impeached, now!

[serryjw]

5. I'm proud!

Allard is from CO............How can you vote for this? What happened to the Geneva Agreement? Are we just 'Agreeing' any more?

[BamaLefty]

6. Sessions of Alabama

Nope, he does NOT speak for me!

[Rufus T. Firefly]

7. Apparently on the final vote on the bill

(after the amendment was added), Bunning (R-KY), Gregg (R-NH) and Leahy (D-VT) were present but chose not to vote. Nobody voted "No" on the final bill itself. So good luck to George with his veto...but he does have the House on his side.

10. Reads like a who's who

of the particularly loony right. If you'd asked for 9-guesses, I think most people could have gotten 6 or 7, at least.

I have to say that "Sterilizes against consent" Coburn and Torture-apologist Cornyn stuck out like sore thumbs though.

Why wouldn't a doctor who ripped a woman's uterus out without consent because he personally felt she had too many kids already and supports the death penalty for having an abortion be in favor of torturing and murdering enemy POWs? He clearly has no respect for the human person and the human condition.

Why wouldn't a lawyer that has argued that torture isn't illegal because they're not "real POWs" support torturing and murdering enemy prisoners under US control? He clearly doesn't respect the law or objective morality.

It's like having our very own Mengele and Goebbels.

Edited to clarify my point.
Edited for spelling. I'm so enraged I can't see straight.

[Little-Jen]

13. I'm quite amazed

That Rick Santurum isn't on that list. Neither is that supposidly extreme right-winger from LA. Nor is Trent Lott or Burns (MN). Wonder how Jeese Helms would have voted, the most right-wing Senator ever...

The Bush Era Ends: Only Nine Senators Vote to Torture More Prisoners
Over petulant objections and prolonged personal lobbying by President Bush and Vice-President Cheney, the Republican-dominated Senate delivered a painful rebuke to the White House by overwhelmingly voting, 90 to 9, yesterday to ban the use of "cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment" against anyone in US government custody, and would require all American troops to use only interrogation techniques authorized in a new Army field manual.

The legislation was introduced by Senator John McCain (R-AZ), a US Navy Captain who was a Vietnam War prisoner for over five years, including one year of torture and two years of solitary confinement. The amendment was co-sponsored by eleven senators, including Senators John Warner (R-VA) and Carl Levin (D-MI), the ranking Republican and Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, and Lindsay Graham (R-SC), a former longtime military lawyer.

According to the New York Times, "More than two dozen retired senior military officers, including Colin L. Powell and John M. Shalikashvili, two former chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, endorsed the amendment."

If we can't get these clueless senators out of office on this vote alone,we aren't reall trying.

By the way, here's another pattern recognition test for you: Below are the nine US Senators who voted against the McCain/Graham amendment. What do all of these pro-torture & humiliation legislators have in common?

Allard (Republican-CO)
Bond (Republican-MO)
Coburn (Republican-OK)
Cochran (Republican-MS)
Cornyn (Republican-TX)
Inhofe (Republican-OK)
Roberts (Republican-KS)
Sessions (Republican-AL)
Stevens (Republican-AK)

I'll give you a hint: Hopefully, none of them are going to get re-elected.
