Who were the six senators who opposed blocking the funds to close Gitmo?

I searched through Google and although I was able to find some of them, I could not find all six. Also, I was quite disturbed at how many DEMOCRATIC senators are buying the Republican fear mongering hook line and sinker.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been gone for the past week.

1. Obama might be better served if he described the plan then has the vote

By having on vote for the money with the plan to be discussed in his speech later probably was an issue. Powell said the the same thing thing morning on the premature vote and he is behind Obama all the way on this issue.

2. Well, I'd like to know, too. I haven't had much time to go digging, either.
