Thank You

A couple of senators who stood up to the abusive powers of the Bush White House:

Sens Chuck Hagel, John Sununu (no liberal), Lisa Murkowski, Larry Craig, Russ Feingold, Patrick Leahy.

As with the torture "debate," this bill is not about terrorism, it's about what we stand for in this country. At the moment, this represents us:

"The New York Times reported Friday that Bush, months after the September 11th attacks, 'secretly authorized the NSA to eavesdrop on Americans and others inside the United States to search for evidence of terrorist activity without the court-approved warrants ordinarily required for domestic spying, according to government officials.' (cnn.com)

This has been the question since the attacks, how to we fight the jihadists? Do we torture, spy on american citizens, comb through people's records all while spreading democracy in......IRAQ?
Or do we continue the offensive in Afghanistan and start putting our efforts towards infiltrating the network and killing it from within.

Thank God there is some sanity on Capital Hill.
