Landrieu highlighting opposition to sanctions bill

U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu is traveling to the Citgo refinery near Lake Charles to highlight her successful stalling of a bill to impose sanctions against human-rights abusers in Venezuela's government. While the Democratic senator has been criticized as siding with Venezuelan leaders who have committed horrible abuses, she says she's protecting 2,000 Louisiana jobs at the refinery, which imports oil from the country.
