Phase II Report Being Stonewalled, Senators Charge


Yesterday was the deadline for the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence to report its progress on Phase II of the investigation into the administration’s use of pre-war intelligence. The prognosis is not good, according to Senators Rockefeller, Levin and Feinstein. They have released a letter, and here is its main finding:

"At this time, we are unable to provide an estimated completion date of the Phase II investigation given the substantial amount of work that remains to be done."

This assessment differs greatly from the one offered by Sen. Pat Roberts on November 1st: “It isn’t like it’s been delayed. As a matter of fact, it’s been ongoing. As a matter of fact, we have been doing our work on Phase 2.” In reality, as the letter makes clear at various points, the work of the committee has been stonewalled by an unwillingness on the part of conservatives to investigate the administration. The Senators report that the investigation has been unable to proceed due to the following issues:

(1) Chairman Roberts is unwilling to investigate the “Cabal” inside the Pentagon’s Office of Special Plans because he is deferring to the administration to investigate itself........

Roberts is covering up for Traitors!!!

I hope Fitzgerald takes him in and supoena's him...Nobody covers up for nothing!!!

Like with Nixon and Watergate and all that. It's usually not the crime but the coverup that gets people.

Like filibustering ALL Republican votes until this moves forward.

Shut the damn place down. Tell the American people its the only way to get the truth. I think they will understand.

strategy, time to hold these bastards responsible.

And I did a poll after poll shows that the public is in favor of the democrats so they will understand and support it. Everyone wants to leave Iraq asap. I hope Reid closes the Senate again every day until this is done.

Keep calling for closed sessions until this thing starts moving.

lets talk about this on the Senate floor non-stop for a while. Kind of a Mr Smith Goes To Washington moment, if you will.

telling him to do exactly that xray-we all should.

to the stonewalling going on. I detest Roberts almost as much as the blivet. :mad:
