What will be the highlights of the Armed Services Committee hearings?
The Senate Armed Services Committee announced today they will hold public hearings on the Iraq torture situation.

The committee members are:

R's: Warner (chair), McCain, Inhofe, Roberts, Allard, Sessions, Collins, Ensign, Talent, Chambliss, Graham, Dole, Cornyn

D's: Levin (ranking), Kennedy, Byrd, Lieberman, Reed, Akaka, Nelson, Dayton, Bayh, Clinton, Pryor

I think Byrd will rock the house. Lindsey Graham will be a horrible suck up. Edward Kennedy will be devastating.

1. I expect that McCain will be the harshest.
He was a prisoner once himself.

2. yes, you are right
he will. He's already been leading the charge on this issue. I think Warner will be pretty tough, too.

5. I dunno
this seems to be getting a LOT of attention. I bet at least the cable news networks cover it live, if not the broadcast nets.
