108. Both Jr. and Brown were probably scared into their votes

still reprehensible, yes, but I'm sure that in the heat of a Senate campaign, both were concerned about a repuke attack ad saying "Sherrod Brown (or Harold Ford Jr.) voted AGAINST the War on Terra. Basically, he voted to give al-Qaida a free pass." as the Dem's face morphs into that of Osama bin Laden. :sarcasm:

That being said, the honorable thing to do under those circumstances would have been to vote "Present", not "I tacitly support torture". :grr:
