Wow! It looks like the McCain amendment passed … overwhelmingly! This has to have something to do with Captain Ian Fishback and his courage. Here are a few links that cover the details. This is one of the unfortunately rare times I’ve felt like our government truly has a moral conscience. Let’s hope it continues.
- Washington Post story on the amendment.
- Another WP article.
- Today’s NYTimes story on the vote.
- The record of the senate vote on McCain’s amendment.
- NYTimes story on Captain Fishback.
- Andrew Sullivan’s extensive coverage of the vote and the issue.
- The Belgrade Dispatch blog item on the subject. This is interesting because the author quotes from sworn interviews.
