<snip>

Rockefeller said his committee will complete the second phase of its investigation of prewar Iraq intelligence as early as this summer. He believes it will show how U.S. policymakers ignored intelligence that undercut their case for war with Saddam Hussein.

...

He said Bush's advisers are not always ready to express conflicting points of view to the president.

"It's extraordinary to me the way people of long and distinguished careers in the military or in government, when they get into the Cabinet Room, suddenly lose their voice," Rockefeller said.

"People don't say what's really on their mind. And if they do, they don't think they're paid a lot of attention to."

1. I don't understand what the delay is?

Isn't this what Harry Reid closed down the Senate about 2 years ago, enough already.

2. it might be due to the fact that Sen. Roberts didn't do anything with Phase II ?

5. Make them accountable

anyone who has stonewalled in the last 4 years, make them testify, justice delayed is
justice denied. Whay delay did Clinton get on the Paula Jones Case, None, nothing,
the Supreme Court said they could not grant a delay.

[whistle]

3. I wonder with Saddam dead if the intelligence will show a rush to war

....a rush to judgment and a rush to execution on the part of BushCo?

4. Rush to war no doubt.

Turning Saddam over to Iraq was the latest violation of the Geneva Convention.

6. Wow and it could have been done before the 2004 elections. Except

for the GOP in power.

8. What is wrong with Rockefeller...He pushed for release and got

a few sentences out just before this last election. It's been ready for two years...now he's saying this SUMMER? :eyes: He thinks we've forgotten? What is going on here? I heard the press conference way back when Part I was released and Rockefeller seemed very upset that Part II would be released.

Is someone after Rockefeller? Do we have to now wait for the Iran Attack before he releases Part II? Somethings just very fishy.

9. Thanks Sabra. "Revenge is a dish best eaten cold." KR

Rockefeller got nailed by Pat Roberts and the other Republicans in their arrogant handling of national security data and investigations. Now he's the main man and we'll see some real fire works, aka the truth.

I'd fogotten all about this very important thread of recent history. Wonder how Roberts feels. He'll
probably get on board with Rockefeller just to save face. Something about, you mean there's gambling in this place, NO WAY...
