I am very disappointed.

Conyers has always been at the fore.

Meehan has been coming along quite nicely.

Moran, from what I understand, is a decent fellow (He's on Colbert's show tonight).

DU has given this no notice.

Shame!

more needs to be done and he needs to know he is not alone, he is so often ignored for all the good he is doing...

this is quite signifigant!
If C-Span doesn't air it, Democracy Now! will hopefully show some of it.

Still the hardest working man in DC. He always is the best. Will this be on CSPAN??

trying to get attention towards it? By the way, on this particular board, most of them have no problem with torture, I just cannot understand such people, I tried to invoke a response, not one word.

Because that is the location of the event.

That group seems to have no problem with torture being used in times of war, and yet they claim to be the most moral christian conservatives on earth....

Hypocrisy at it's finest..
