Since it's part of the long-delayed FY10 budget, probably.

It's a sign of how broken Congress is that they can only address the budget and other big things in a lame duck session nowadays.

3. No wonder we see Democrats as Cowards...

Congress is controlled by Democrats..What possible explanation is there other than pure FEAR to pass such a ruling? How would it hurt in any way for these criminals to be tried in US courts and imprisoned in US Prisons? America is such a Cowardly Nation.
