Frist is threatening to filibuser McCain/Graham/Warner detainee bill

They've got one week left to finish their "national security agenda" before closing up shop and going home to campaign up until the election. And everything is grinding to a massive halt. Why? Because the Republicans are threatening to filibuster the bill put together by members of their own party.

Maybe we can get the Iraqis to come over and help the Republicans with their own civil war?

Not to mention, it's more than a bit funny that Senator "Nuclear Option" Frist is suddenly such a fan of filibusters. But then again, this time the filibuster isn't to protect the constitution from an insane far-right judge, it's to promote torture. And to today's Republican party, nothing is as important as protecting the right to torture.
