Feingold on Hayden

United States Senator Russ Feingold votes against Bush CIA nominee.

Shocking news.

The most interesting nugget from his statement:

Having finally been briefed about this program last week, I am more convinced than ever that it is illegal.

Nice to see he waited til he got all the facts on the program before he blasted away and appeared on every Sunday morning talk show who would take his call.
