79 "Hate-Addled" Senators Say "No" To Amnesty For Attackers Of US Troops...

Kudos to the 44 Democrats and 35 Republicans who voted for Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL)'s amendment, which stated simply:

To express the sense of Congress that the Government of Iraq should not grant amnesty to persons known to have attacked, killed, or wounded members of the Armed Forces of the United States.

The hate machine in my brain tells me that the bipartisan common sense exhibited here is a good sign.

I just don't see how see how any sensible Republican could think the insurgents who commit disgusting acts like this could be deserving of any kind of amnesty simply because they didn't attack their fellow Iraqis.
