The most concerning information so far gleaned from Khan's files

Harris Regrets Bogus Terror Plot Claim :eyes:

Sen. Charles Grassley told Attorney General John Ashcroft
he believes the Justice Department retaliated against prosecutors
because they cooperated with Congress.

Sen. Richard Shelby leaked to the media classified
messages from the eve of the Sept. 11 attacks.

"We've tried to strike a balance," Rice added. "We think for the most
part, we've struck a balance, but it's indeed a very difficult balance to
strike." :crazy:
