A late addendum. Guess what is on the docket for discussion in the house today?

Personally i think this is a premptive strike by the Democrats and has no hope of passing (its way too wide ranging and has too many loopholes for the neo-cons liking) and will only force the Republicans to rewrite it using this framework if they hope to get it passed in short order. Otherwise its a complete re-draft of the bill and will take months to get it re-written.
