REID STATEMENT ON INDICTMENT
Washington, D.C. Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid released the following statement.
These are very serious charges. They suggest that a senior White House aide put politics ahead of our national security and the rule of law.
This case is bigger than the leak of highly classified information. It is about how the Bush White House manufactured and manipulated intelligence in order to bolster its case for the war in Iraq and to discredit anyone who dared to challenge the president.
It's now time for President Bush to lead and answer the very serious questions raised by this investigation. The American people have already paid too steep a price as a result of misconduct at the White House, and they deserve better.
Ms. D'Allisandro, who are you to call anyone corrupt? Your family is the sleaze of Baltimore.
Fitz just slapped down Reid, saying that this has NOTHING to do with the war. People would be stretching and disappointed to think differently.
See, now it's statements like Harry's that make me want to punch someone rather than engage is reasonable discourse.
