dKos: Frist Pulls Defense Spending Bill In Face of Republican Anti-Torture Amendments

Simply amazing. In the face of a series of amendments by Republican Senators McCain, Warner and Graham that would have instituted new rules against torture, as well as other Republican-backed attempts to strengthen veterans benefits and delay base closures until after the Iraq War, Bill Frist has simply pulled the entire $450 billion defense bill from the Senate floor. Funding the troops now won't be reconsidered until after the summer recess.
From the Washington Times, of all places, since it humors me greatly to cite them...
