Bush Torture Bill Headed for Vote This Evening

By Paul Kiel - September 28, 2006, 10:36 AM

Yesterday, the House passed the "compromise" legislation on torture and detainee trials (with a little Democratic help), and now the bill seems set to sail through the Senate as well.

Minority Leader Harry Reid's (D-NV) office told me that the three remaining amendments on the bill --- including Sen. Arlen Specter's (R-PA), which would provide Guantanamo Bay detainees with the right to have a federal court hearing challenging their incarceration -- will be voted on throughout the remainder of the day. The final vote is likely to take place this evening, a Reid aide said. The only really close vote is likely to be Specter's amendment. We'll keep you updated.

2. Listening to Sen. Jay Rockefeller

He is on the Intelligence Committee.....he says that none of the Democrats on the committee were included in writing this bill....he saysthe bill was hastily written and has not given the Congress enough time to review the bill
All of the Dems must Filibuster this bill...
