Today the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved a resolution condemning the abuses against Iraqi prisoners (see full text of HR 627 here). A number of left-of-center Democrats such as Dennis Kucinich wanted a stronger condemnation, which isn’t surprising. What is surprising is that they then decided to vote against the resolution that was ultimately approved.
Along with Kucinich, Nancy Pelois, Charles Rangel, Barney Frank and others (including libertarian Republican Ron Paul) voted against the condemnation.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
