For The Kerry Committee "closed" meant closed to the press for any testimony that contradicted the crackpot accusations of Committee's Christic Institute mentors and its felon witnessers — but wide open for any testimony that backed the smear about Vice President Bush as a cocaine smuggler for the Contras with Felix as his trouble-shooter. Rodriguez noticed that the Miami Herald mentioned, "unnamed congressional sources," for it's slanders. Leaks anyone?SOP for any Senate committee.
Dimocrats leak if they are in the majority.
Dimocrats leak if they are in the minority.
Oh...er, Republicans do, too. But they're less nasty, IMO.
No wonder FnKerry so wants to avoid discussing his first term.
