Body Blow II

From the same story (scroll down)...forgot to add it. This has to be making Donnie stand in line for sloppy seconds at the statue.

In other business related to the prisoner controversy, the Senate, by a 54-43 vote, defeated legislation that would have forced the Defense Department to cut back on its use of civilian contractors, who are accused along with military troops of having mistreated Iraqis at a prison outside of Baghdad.
Wasn't that part of the "streamlining" the military crap that the Neocons wanted to force on the military? Think so...
A commenter asked who are the Democrats who crossed over and voted to table this: Zell Miller (GA-there's a shock), Nelson (FL), Rockefeller (WV). Shame on them ... well except for Miller, he's a whore anyhow...it's funny that he wants to be in the same group as Americas Stupidest Senator: Inhofe.

Civilian contractors are the sources of campaign contributions and good paying jobs when Congressmen use the revolving door after their terms expire. It's sort of like an annuity - funded with other people's money.

Shag has nailed it. Stop the revolving door.

Edwards did not vote on it? Blackwater was his state and he voted all go on the war.

And those civiliam contractors help boost the GDP and jobs totals...
