Graham, Lieberman will shut down the Senate if Torture Photos are not Censored.

Since the House stripped out the provision making it illegal for the Pentagon to release the Bush-era detainee photos from the War Supplemental bill in conference, the two Senators are upping the ante. At a press conference today (Tuesday) they tantrummed with smoking ears and red faces: Graham: "The removal of the photo amendment is one of the most outrageous and irresponsible acts in the history of Congress." "Is the ACLU now in charge of the House of Representatives?" "We're not going to do any more business in the Senate; nothing's going forward until we get this right."

How bad has Bush/Republicans screwed up ordering torture that it has come down to shutting down the senate to block any photos of torturing in US or foreign countries to be seen ever again by anyone?

Now the Quacks that started this disgraceful mess are saying anything against Obama trying to fix the endless imprisonment without trial or any kind of justice.

This is totally nuts, insane, complete and udder lunacy that it happened in the first place. Texas politics in the Whitehouse was total insanity, just think of what the Texans have had to put up with, with a whole family of them.
