    We know that Lieberman-Graham is not dead yet and will be attached again but this time to HR1256. Lieberman has reserved at least 10 separate unspecified amendments he plans to attach to this bill. No doubt one or more will be this one.

    I'm listening to the Senate debate here http://www.cspan.org/Watch/C-SPAN2_wm.aspx.

    They're voting on cloture now. One of Lieberman's amendments was just thrown out as being non-germane. I assume it's the amendment regarding the photos (it was called "SA 1290"). Hopefully, pow wow will be along to clarify.
