[kpete]

9/28/06
Senate floor this morning regarding the Republican Torture Ratification Bill.

"We have been known as the nation of Nuremburg. I fear that we will now be known as the nation of Guantanimo." — Sen. Christopher Dodd

"We can export freedom across the globe, but at the same time we are cutting it out in our own country. What hypocrisy!" — Sen. Patrick Leahy

"Either we are a nation that stands against this cruel and unusual torture and for the rule of law. Or we are not. We cannot have it both ways." — Sen. Russ Feingold

The writ of habeas corpus is one of those basic foundations of modern Democracy. Without it, words like liberty and freedom have no meaning.

These are bad people running our government. Very bad.
