msnbc - Reids brilliant move


Harry Reid sparks a dramatic Senate standoff
On quiet Indian summer afternoon, Democrats spring an Iraq-Libby surprise



WASHINGTON - On a quiet Indian summer afternoon, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid dramatically wrenched the political agenda from the Republican majority Monday by forcing the Senate into secret session.

Reid’s gambit was designed to prod Republicans to agree to speed up “Phase II” of the investigation by the Senate Intelligence Committee, led by Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kansas, into how spy data was used or misused in the prelude to the invasion of Iraq in March 2003.

Senate Democrats said Roberts and the Republicans were stalling on the investigation; Republicans disputed that.

1. point to Reid; ball in repuke's court
if they haven't been stalling, they'd better come out with some solid evidence that they have been working-and what they show better not be a cover up.

12. He looks like Gandalf. AFter he comes back to life, ya know?
The circular pattern on the roof lines perfectly with his his head to make it even look like a hat. Lord of The Rings: An allegory for the Dem take over? Probably not, but it's fun to think about.
