I dont know why we even allow threads like this. Even the title is nothing more then flamebait
This thread, your article, is nothing more then an attept to polarize the board once again into partisan bickering. Don't we have enough threads with the implied title "democrats and replublicans fight here"?
Might I suggest that they can be neither hypocrites NOR idiots?
A senator can approach the facts presented and say yes.. If those facts are true, then we must act. A senator should not have to second guess the govenment and have those facts proved. (And I dont care what the rest of the world thought, and neither did the senators, they wanted proof from thier govenment). Once the facts were proved false, and the methods for getting those facts were questioned, it is a senator's job to question the actions after those facts.
Therefore they are not hypocrites, nor idiots.. They are serving thier people, and thier country
