Senator Mark Pryor is one of two U-S senators who are
expected to deliver critical votes on a Democratic
proposal to begin bringing combat troops home. Senators
Pryor and Ben Nelson of Nebraska, both Democrats, are
expected to deliver the critical votes this week. The
Senate is to decide whether to uphold legislation that
orders some troops home right away, with the goal of
ending combat missions by March 31st, 2008. Nelson and
Pryor have opposed announcing a timetable for
withdrawal. Since then, Democrats have altered the legislation
in hopes of persuading Pryor and Nelson and Nelson has
indicated support.

White House liaison, told senators yesterday that she
would invoke her Fifth Amendment right to testify
before the Judiciary Committee in its probe of the U.S.
attorney firings scandal, citing what they described as
the political nature of the investigation. "The

by the members of the Judiciary Committee in the
present proceedings, including the accusations by Department
of Justice officials to members of the committee about
Ms. Goodling, is at best ambiguous; more accurately
the environment can be described as perilous for Ms.
Goodling," Dowd and King wrote.
