82-9!
Kerry Legislative Victory Forces Administration to Facilitate Congressional Oversight,
In an overwhelming rebuke to the Bush administration's attempt to hide alleged CIA secret prisons from Congress, the Senate voted 82-9 today in favor of an amendment by John Kerry that will require the Director of National Intelligence to report on the reported clandestine detention facilities.
The Kerry Amendment requires classified reports to Congress providing a full accounting on any clandestine prison or detention facility operated by the United States government, regardless of its location.

OK, this is a bit off topic, but I just read that Bush is accusing Dems of trying to "rewrite the history of how that war [the Iraq war] began" (http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/11/11/bush.intel/index.html). Rewrite it? When was it written the first time? Can I pick up a copy at Borders? Oh, wait -- I don't have to go to Borders, because I can read about the originally recorded history right here: http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/11/10/iraq.intel/index.html -- well, surprise, suprise: this CNN article shows that history was rewritten -- but not by the Dems being attacked by Bush! How wonderful to see both these articles concurrently running on CNN.com!
