60. Introducing legislation for an Independent Commission
I'm sticking this here so people that click on this link will see it. Call it a hijack, I don't care. I've posted this ad nauseum; nobody, anywhere, cares. Because it doesn't fit with the do-nothing Dem propaganda bullshit.


http://www.ligLeading Democrats called for an Independent Commission to investigate US policies and practices towards detainees along with alleged abuse. The Levin Amendment will create the Commission and will be introduced as an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act. Sens. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., John Rockefeller, D-W.V., and Jack Reed, D-R.I., joined Senator Levin who stated, “We are calling for an Independent Commission on the Treatment of Detainees because the Defense Department has shown that it is not capable of investigating itself,” said Levin. “The most serious scandal in recent military history needs an objective investigation.”
