Question: Is there a final version of the Military Commissions Bill?

I thought the House and Senate had passed different versions of the anti-habeas corpus bill, which now have to be reconciled by committee. Has a final version been agreed to and voted upon, and is it really waiting on El Diablo's signature?

2. yes

Here:

http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=109_cong_bills&docid=f:s3930enr.txt.pdf">Military Commissions Act of 2006 (Enrolled as Agreed to or Passed by Both House and Senate)

The enrolled bill is the final copy of the bill that has been passed in identical form by both the House and Senate. It is printed on parchment, certified by an officer of the house of origin (Clerk of the House or Secretary of the Senate) and then sent on for signatures of the Speaker of the House, the President of the Senate, and the President of the United States.

The text of the enrolled bill -- the version of the bill sent to the President for signature -- reflects all the provisions that actually take effect, unless the bill was vetoed or pocket-vetoed.

3. Many thanks

Boy, I am so bummed right now. I was right to insist on C-SPAN that those who voted for this bill had committed treason.
