Cantwell to Iranians: We Kill Because We Value Freedom

And so this morning, when I saw that Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-WA) was one of the cosponsors of this crapulous pile of hypocritical legislative ooze pathetically wrapped in a nice, chocolate-covered title, let me just say that I saw red. Red like the blood of men, women and children spilled in Iraq. Red like the fresh wounds of soldiers rushed to Walter Reed. Red like the eyes of family members who will ask themselves every day between this breath and their last why they outlived people they loved as much as their own lives.

From a website called Pacific Views.org--found on a comment at the Northwest Progressive Institute website.

UPDATE:
here's a link to The Daily Kos that explains more about how many Dems are co-sponsoring this "stepping stone to war" (borrowing Kucinich's characterization of the House version). http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/5/3/83734/61208

If anyone is interested, Pacific Views .org has a new blog article on the Cantwell sponsorship of the Iran Freedom bill. Apparently someone called Cantwell's office and their excuse for the vote was that Barbara Boxer did it too. Oh, geez. And I thought she didn't have a good reason!
