5. No, she hasn't been confirmed yet. Neither has Gonzales!
In Rice's case, Sen. Byrd said there was much information that the entire Senate needed to read and absorb regarding her testimony, and the vote has been delayed some days.

In Gonzales' case, the Judicial Committee hasn't even voted on his confirmation yet. It may not come up until the 26th. I think his vote was delayed because he avoided answering the questions, specifically whether he considered "organ failure" torture. He and the Senate need to "research" the answers.

So -- some progress, eh? This tells me we should keep the pressure on. Write to all members of the Senate and tell them WE CAN DO BETTER than Gonzales and Rice!
