It only takes one fink

The Senate Intelligence Committee was ready to recommend eliminating funds for the CIA's (Bush's) extraordinary rendition torture policy if only the Democrats had held firm. However,

WASHINGTON, May 31 — The Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday questioned the continuing value of the Central Intelligence Agency’s secret interrogation program for terrorism suspects, suggesting that international condemnation and the obstacles it has created to criminal prosecution may outweigh its worth in gathering information.

The committee rejected by one vote a Democratic proposal that would essentially have cut money for the program by banning harsh interrogation techniques except in dire emergencies, a committee report revealed.


And, who was the fink?

The amendment failed when Senator Bill Nelson, Democrat of Florida, joined all the Republicans in voting no.

Okay, you Floridians out there. You should know what to do.
