Definitely not the Senate...today they took up the weighty matter of Move-On.org's ad that called General Petreaus General Betray Us [For the ad's text go to: http://pol.moveon.org/petraeus.html] [ and even if you do not agree with ad, there is that concept we once held: freedom of speech and the right of dissent].
