What They Omitted BY LAURIE MYLROIE September 19, 2006
Recently the Senate Intelligence Committee published the second phase of its investigation into Iraq. The document has an outrageously lengthy name: "Report of the Select Committee on Intelligence on Postwar Findings About Iraq's WMD Programs and Links to Terrorism and How They Compare with Prewar Assessments, Together with Additional Views." It is a tendentious paper, reflecting Democratic posturing on the eve of the congressional elections. Four Republican senators on the committee complained in their dissent that it was written "with more partisan bias than we have witnessed in a long time in Washington." That is an apt characterization of the section dealing with Iraq and terrorism.

What should we expect when the DIMS write the damned thing.
I thought that Republicans were in the majority. Is this an unofficial report?
There are so many weird things happening in our Congress, I am beginning to think that my only recourse is Paxil or Xoloft.
The DimRats hold "hearings" that have all the trappings of official Congressional hearings, complete with "expert" witnesses and using Senate or House hearing rooms and facilities. These unofficial dog and pony shows conducted by our Shadow Government in Exile are designed to confuse and mislead.

of interest?
Ping.
Not only was it a select committee but it selected what intellegence to use. They did not include what did not fit their agenda.
"The millions of documents captured in Iraq fare little better in this review. Only a small fraction of the documents have been processed, but one American official familiar with them told this author that they nonetheless reveal such extensive Iraqi dealings with terrorists that they justify the war. Journalist Stephen Hayes reported in the Weekly Standard on January 16, that captured documents and photographs reveal that between 1999 and 2002, Saddam's regime trained over 8,000 "radical Islamic terrorists" at three camps in Iraq, including Salman Pak."
