Gads, I'm not transcribing or following too closely Kennedy but it sounds like Cambone is correcting him constantly.

I'm finding it awfully hard to follow Kennedy. Does he look hungover to you?

THESE GUYS MUST WAKE UP EVERY DAY AND THANK ALLAH THAT SADDAM IS NOT IN CHARGE OF THESE PRISONS TODAY!! IN YOUR FACE TED KENNEDY!!

Inhofe: They're not there for traffic violations. Our bad guys were misguided, even perverted. But he's also outraged by political agendas being served by this. Will share solicitation: "Over the past week we've all been shocked . . . response of Bush inadequate." (Kerry's fundraising appeal?) Doesn't recall that ever happening before. Asks that solicitation be made part of the record.

Contrasts US abuse to Saddam's "unspeakable" mutilation, torture, etc. Asks that account of Saddam's brutality be entered into record.

Further outraged by human rights groups crawling over these prisons while our troops are fighting and dying.

He noted at Rumsfeld's confirmation hearing that Rumsfeld would not kowtow or be intimidated.
