What about the Senate inquiry into twisted prewar intelligence?
ASK THIS | July 14, 2006

Minority leader Harry Reid shut down the U.S. Senate eight months ago to force the Intelligence Committee to investigate how Bush, Cheney et al handled the findings they got. Reporters should ask Reid and the 15 Senators on the committee: What’s taking so long?

Q. Eight months ago Senate Republicans, under pressure, pledged to investigate and report on whether President Bush intentionally exaggerated or mischaracterized intelligence findings to drum up support to invade Iraq. What’s happened since?

Q. The investigation was to be undertaken by the Senate Intelligence Committee, which, under chairman Pat Roberts of Kansas, has been a rubber stamp for the White House. There are seven Democrats on the 15-member committee. Ask them individually about what the committee is doing, what it's come up with and why it is that we hear so little from them.

Q. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid shut down the Senate to force Republicans to speed up this investigation. Ask Reid, what has happened since?

How wittingly President Bush and the rest of his administration misled the American public about Saddam Hussein’s weapons capabilities in the run-up to war still remains largely a mystery...........

1. So much to keep up with.... that's how they like it.

We are getting hit from every direction, it is almost impossible to see anything to it's conclusion. Something equally illegal, insane and inhumane occurs before we resolve the prior crime they committed. It goes on and on and on, and people are busy trying to figure out Part D of their health care so that they can actually take their meds again. Or maybe trying to save the house, their car, their electric from being shut off, the gas in the car, etc... you get my drift.

As soon as I read your post, I thought, Oh yeah!.. What DID happen with that?... I can't keep up.

It's like getting beaten by a group of thugs, you bend at the knees, squatting down, cover your head with your two arms and before you know it... that's right, you are in the fetal position.

Pure abuse of every American.
