Okay, so it’s not technically called that, but it’s what’s tucked into the war supplemental. Jane Hamsher has an action item up on the issue that I encourage everyone to support by getting involved. I already put an item up “In the News” on it that has the info you need.
And I say this as someone who wholeheartedly supports Obama’s plan for Afghanistan.
But I will not support the Democrats sticking in Joe Lieberman – Lindsay Graham’s Detainee Photographic Records Protection Act of 2009. This provision is meant simply to give Obama cover on the unreleased torture photos, so that he doesn’t have to fight the issue in court.
This is the kind of sneaky political stunts that drives people crazy.
Rahm’s whipping on the war supplemental now. It’s time to send a message that we won’t have “secrecy” acts stuffed into national security legislation, especially when it has to do with scuttling transparency. Didn’t Pres. Obama campaign on fighting this sort of thing?
