Un-named Senator Stalls Intelligence Spending Bill
Un-named Senator Stalls Intelligence Spending Bill
December 16th, 2005

AP News is reporting that “one unidentified Republican is objecting to some portion” of the intelligence spending bill and that’s created a snag in “legislation that would force the Bush administration to divulge more about secret CIA prisons and the prewar Iraq intelligence.”

It’s unclear who the senator is or what the precise objections are.

Two separate amendments — from Sens. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., and John Kerry, D-Mass. — would require the national intelligence director to provide classified information on secret CIA prisons to congressional intelligence committees. The agency has not acknowledged that the sites exist.

They do us proud.

3. I always enjoy listening to your congresspersons
and that includes in the House. I happened to catch Rep. James McGovern (sp?) this morning. I also like Markey(who would have been an excellent replacement for Kerry had he become prez) and Barney Frank.

4. Thank you. Oh and Sen. Feingold was great this morning.
He is doing a wonderful job in organizing resistance to the Patriot Act. (Or the 'Leave no Spying Behind Act.' as the case may be.)

I really like him.

5. he was good this morning
I also really enjoyed his tribute to William Proxmire. Both Proxmire and Gaylord Nelson have been Wisconsin icons my whole life.
