Why did Kucinich not vote to overturn Bush's veto?

[Truth2Tell]

Does anyone know why Dennis Kucinich voted "no" on The Intelligence Authorization Act today, and declined to help try and override the Bush veto of the water-boarding ban? There were three Dem "no" votes: DK, Waters and Marshall.

I will assume until I hear otherwise that there was some good reason for this, but I don't know what it is. What up?

If true I want to know as well.

2. Wow, Maxine too? There's got to be a reason for this ...

Some other provision they objected to perhaps?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

4. That's the only reason why he and Maxine would have voted against it. Now I'm going to have to find

out what it was.

3. Gotta be a good reason, like something attached to the vote

DK has the best votes in the house.

5. Kucinich is seeking an impeachment

By stating that water-boarding is "now" illegal, this would effectively state that it was not torture before the law was passed. Torture is already illegal by our laws. Stating water-boarding is illegal is redundant.

7. Are you sure this is why?

Or is that a guess?

8. He has not made a statement as of yet...

This is my best guess based on his past record of voting. If the veto was overturned, no one can be held accountable for the crime based on its original status.

6. He probably wants to keep waterboarding on the table

Just in case he ever gets to impose his hellish Ministry of "Peace" on an unsuspecting public.
