...seemingly natural allies is a piece of legislation the Senate is expected to vote on this week to update the 1944 G.I. Bill to provide expanded education assistance and opportunities to the armed forces. The bill, co-sponsored by two other Vietnam veterans in the Senate, Republican Chuck Hagel of Nebraska and Democrat Jim Webb of Virginia, would effectively provide full tuition and housing costs at a four-year public university for veterans who have served at least three years of active duty. Given his family's and his own long and distinguished service career, the bill would seem like...
...bipartisan ban in the intelligence bill, put forward by Senators Dianne Feinstein of California and Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, still faces Republican opposition, while the intelligence bill as a whole could face a presidential veto because if it does not grant amnesty to telephone companies who participated in possibly illegal wiretapping of Americans, as requested by the Bush Administration...

Though publicly coy, Bloomberg is the animating force behind the Oklahoma meeting, and his aides have been feverishly laying the groundwork for an independent campaign in case, as one describes it, "the window of opportunity opens...
...refusal to ratify Kyoto is largely based on the Byrd-Hagel Resolution, adopted in Congress in 1997. This resolution advised the President not to sign treaties like Kyoto that do not demand emissions limits on developing countries (like China) and that would result in harm to the U.S. economy. Both points are flawed. While it is important that developing countries are, in the future, subject to the same rigid emissions caps currently imposed upon developed nations, developed countries—the countries that historically have “caused” global warming—cannot afford to postpone action...
