The ranking Democrat on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence demanded that the Republican chairman let go of any sore feelings about a leaked memo politicizing prewar Iraqi intelligence and let the committee get back to work.

Intelligence committee business has been stalled for two weeks since the internal memo was leaked to Fox News, Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV of West Virginia said in a letter to committee Chairman Pat Roberts of Kansas. Mr. Rockefeller asked Mr. Roberts to begin conducting joint hearings on committee business next week.

"But, she said, Mr. Rockefeller wants the entire issue dropped in order to move the committee forward."

I'm sure he does, but in my opinion the man no longer has standing and should be replaced on the committee.

Period. End of sentence.

Nothing doing. No way. As another poster said, time for a bunch of emails, faxes and phone calls to Sen Roberts, to tell him that AMERICA is not willing to let this go away.

We read it, (thank you Sean Hannity!) and we've made our decision. This is treasonous, and we're outraged that "Sen" Rockefeller is willing to declassify and leak sensitive information for political gain IN WARTIME!

Despicable Democrats! I wipe my feet on you!

" Mr. Bush was quoting from a British intelligence report, which later was found to be erroneous. The intelligence committee is investigating whether the White House was aware of the misinformation before the president's speech in January. "

I don't recall the Brit's backing down on this matter.

do you think that the idea of move on is how RATS deal with every crisis? lets drop it, thw first world tradde center, the cole, the embassy bombing and move on. that is why nobody thinks we are safe with RATS running the government.

I'd tell'em to go urinate up a rope. Then I'd had'em a subpoena.
