A failure of leadership

Because President Bush wouldn't set standards regarding the appropriate treatment of detainees, the Senate had no other choice. Thank you, senators, for voting 90-9 to restore some dignity to this nation.

In case you are wondering, here is a list of the pro-torture nine:

1. Allard (R-CO)
2. Bond (R-MO)
3. Coburn (R-OK)
4. Cochran (R-MS)
5. Cornyn (R-TX)
6. Inhofe (R-OK)
7. Roberts (R-KS)
8. Sessions (R-AL)
9. Stevens (R-AK)

I guess Oklahoma is now known as "The Torture State."
