FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - December 13, 2005

I have just been made aware of a letter sent to the Republican Leader and Assistant Leader signed by the Democrat Leader and Assistant Leader.
The letter is basically a partisan allegation about Phase II of the Intelligence Committees Review of Pre War Intelligence on Iraq. It alleges incorrectly that critical questions remain about the committees progress on its investigation, its timeline for completing that investigation, and what remaining steps need to be taken to ensure a prompt, thorough, and complete review.
As an ex officio member of the Committee, Senator Reid is welcome to participate in any Committee activity including Phase II. He has yet to do so.
If the Democrat Leader has critical questions he should pick up the phone and call me, or better yet, attend the business meeting scheduled for this Thursday when we will discuss all facets of our progress on Phase II. I think he would be pleasantly surprised.
That's the whole thing in a nutshell, right there, isn't it?
OUCH!!
