94 Senators don't seem to give a fuck about Human Rights.
KIEV, Ukraine, June 8 - Six United States senators urged the Bush administration on Wednesday to reconsider its relationship with the authoritarian government in Uzbekistan, saying close association with a nation whose troops fired on demonstrators last month risked undermining the security of the United States.

The senators - four Republicans and two Democrats - also asked if the administration knew whether American-trained troops or American military equipment were used in the deadly crackdown, in Andijon, in northeastern Uzbekistan.

Biden can be a tool, but he's on the right side on this fight. It'd be nice if our best senators like Boxer and future-president Feingold would sign onto this.
