Joe Lieberman and Lindsay Graham lost their little battle to amend the $95B war supplemental to block release of 44 more torture photos. So how did they respond? By promising to vote against the bill.

We will employ all the legislative means available to us including opposing the supplemental war spending bill and attaching this amendment, which was unanimously adopted by the Senate, to every piece of legislation the Senate considers, to be sure the President has the authority he needs not to release these photos and any others that would jeopardize the safety and security of our troops.

Since 2003, progressive Democrats have been terrified to vote against war funding bills because it would "hurt the troops." But that isn't making Lieberman and Graham hesitate for one second.

Can't everyone now see how easy it is to oppose war funding? David Swanson gives all the reasons to Just Say No. So why have only 12 progressives reaffirmed their opposition to the bill, when it's so easy to do exactly what Lieberman and Graham did?
