Byrd's on: Talking about the Torture amendment to the

[joemurphy]

Senate Defense Authorization Bill

[LynneSin]

1. I just read where Bush will veto if torture being banned is in the bill

:grr:

[joemurphy]

2. Good. Then there won't be any money for his war.

It'd be his first veto too.

[Mass]

3. Byrd speaking about the Authorization Bill and how it was

pulled from the floor by Frist.

Warner has filed it as an amendment to the Defense Appropriation Bill that is going to be voted.

Byrd is opposed to that.

[joemurphy]

4. Right. Byrd wants them both debated. n/t

[Mass]

5. He is right on his principles

but this will not happen. Frist will not allow this to happen.

[joemurphy]

6. Right. Frist doesn't want to hear anything about torture. n/t

[Mass]

7. This part is going to be voting on in the next hour or so.

But there are other amendments concerning salaries and other things that he does not want to hear about either.

[LSK]

8. what did Sessions say that pissed off McCain about 30 min ago? n/t

[Mass]

9. He basically said that the soldier that sent the letter to McCain ...

was aiding the ennemy (not exactly in these words, but this is what it meant).

[joemurphy]

10. He also pooh-poohed the guy's allegations...

"I'm a prosecutor...what does he mean by "abuse"...what's that?"

[LSK]

11. Sessions is the biggest IDIOT in the Senate

I cant watch that dumb fvck.
