I tried to ping you last night when the story broke Thanks for the ping, I saw it on a self-search. Look at the source of your article - there is NO statement from Hatch on this. Let's not go apesh** quite yet - it is well within character for the NY Times, having had it's butt kicked by the results of the Iraq War, to immediately create another bogus story to start a new line of attack on the Bush Admin.
that is what I said on the original thread, (if true), but we know Tips was real. I would not put it passed them to try and make this real too.........sad to say!
here is another one under the radar, again consider the source but??????????

Agreement on 'Amber Alert' Bill
By REUTERS
http://www.nytimes.com/2003/04/09/national/09AMBE.html WSHINGTON, April 8 — House and Senate negotiators compromised today on a bill to create an "Amber alert" child kidnapping warning system, but lawmakers said some anticrime provisions in the measure could derail it in the Senate.
"I don't know if it can pass," Senator Patrick J. Leahy of Vermont, the senior Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said after a contentious conference meeting.
Concern centers on provisions that critics said would upset the balance in the 20-year-old system of federal sentencing guidelines.
