Wellstone was supposed to have been very good on vet issues. When the VFW here endorsed him for Senate there was a mini-civil war among the members.

Operative work is "was". There were a whole bunch of fine democrat senators. You can go all the way back to Scoop Jackson. Bill Bradley was another one. The other Kerrey. Lieberman is a good one. Evan Bayh might become one. I wonder what sam nunn thinks of iraq and whether you still would like him if he criticized bush?

Found this: An Q&A discussion featuring Former Senator Sam Nunn...discusses Iraq, Iran, NK, etc.. Distinguished American Award Presentation and Discussion of Terrorism and Weapons of Mass Destruction Senator Sam Nunn, moderated by Graham Allison John F. Kennedy Library and Foundation April 5, 2004 jfklibrary.org snip>>>>> SENATOR NUNN: Well, Matt Bunn does a report for us each year. Matt is over at the Kennedy School working with Graham, and basically Matt tells us that something like 40% of all the weapon-grade nuclear materials in the former Soviet Union have now been secured in some fashion, rapid upgrade security. About 20% have comprehensive security that we in the United States would say, "These materials are really secure now." So about 40% have some security; about 20% have, I would call it, good security. Now that’s the good news. The bad news is about 55-60% of all the nuclear material in the Soviet Union does not come up to our standards of security. So there is a long way to go. This material is located in a lot of different locations around primarily Russia now. Most of the material has been consolidated in the other outlying countries. The NTI Foundation has helped the Kazakhstan government consolidate their material, getting a number of pounds or kilograms of that material away from the border with Iran and other dangerous places. So getting it in a safe spot, consolidating it, making sure that terrorists cannot get that material, to me, is the number one security challenge we face in the world, because the combination of terrorists who don’t have a return address, who are willing and able to basically kill millions of people if they had the nuclear material and are able to make a bomb if they had the nuclear material, that combination with nuclear material is what we call catastrophic terrorism. To me, it’s our number one security challenge. So we have a long way to go; we’ve made progress.<<<< snip
