Inhofe... a glimpse

glad he's being replaced...

Political views
Inhofe is one of the most politically conservative members of either house of Congress; among other political stances, he strongly opposes abortion and gay rights. As a member of the Armed Services Committee, he was among the panelists questioning witnesses about the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse. There he made news by claiming he was "outraged by the outrage" over the revelations of abuse, suggesting that shock at the crimes was more offensive than the crimes themselves. He has also criticized the Red Cross as a "bleeding heart." Against the wishes of the Bush administration, the Pentagon, and the American Petroleum Institute, Inhofe has persistently blocked American ratification of the international Convention on the Law of the Sea, claiming that the treaty would infringe on American sovereignty.


[edit] Interrogation of detainees
In 2006, Inhofe was one of only nine senators to vote against Senator John McCain's amendment to the 2006 appropriations bill banning torture on individuals in U.S. Government custody. [4][5][6][7]


[edit] U.S. support for Israel
In a Senate speech, Inhofe said that America should base its Israel policy on the text of the Bible:
