I just heard Senator Stabanow state that our troops are in jeopardy of bad treatment because of Abu Graib. Then she says that the Senate has the right to ask questions of the nominees. An intelligent caller points out that Boxer didn't ask one question in her opening remarks. Stabenow then says this is an opportunity for the Senators to present their views. She is in the third leadership position. I can see why.
Thanks for that reporting; I am leaving at 11:00 and would appreciate anyone who thinks of it to ping me to interesting segments of today's Senate hearing.
