I'm gonna start taking bets on how far into these articles the word 'Democrat' appears.

[pollyannaish]

Those Republicans and their culture of corruptions, why...what? Another Democrat?

Never mind.

I've believed for a long time that this oil-for-food scandal will end up having more layers to it than an onion. The news of the Europeans and even UN officials being involved came out pretty quickly, but the story remains mysteriously ignored in this country. I wouldn't be at all surprised if there were some number of Americans (government and/or private citizens) involved as well.

Culture of corruption.

[eddie willers]

The Torch (Toricelli) and The Mummy (Lautenberg) are my Freeper name sakes.

presumably he is the scapegoat for whatever other US lawmakers would have been involved since he is already history.

A good look needs to be taken at all politicians, especially Senators, present and former.

But the Torch won't go quietly....

I guess Nancy Pelosi was right after all, culture of corruption... oh wait... she said republican, and Torricelli is not a republican but a democrat? How can this be? HOW CAN THIS BE?

[Calpernia]

Hey JV.

Is the PreWarDocs accessable to do searches?

Or do all the docs have to be scrolled through and read individually?

If you can do document searches, are can you search for Torricelli?

Or, would these docs not be in the files due to investigations?

Thanks hon!

>>>An April 15 1996 cable from Mr Hamdoun to Tariq Aziz, Iraq's deputy prime minister at the time, if authentic, appears to corroborate these allegations.<<<<

Well, here is a convenient loop hole:

>>>>Mr Hamdoun died in July 2003. <<<<<

is that an OIL fueled Torch there mr.senator???

[cake_crumb]

"We have a similar interest in preserving the institutional integrity of the US Senate..."

I HOPE that means that if a sitting Democrat turns out to be invoved, they won't be wrist-slapped "for the good of the Senate".
