Boxer & other Dems to Condi Rice: Was Bolton was questioned in Plame leak?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Senate Democrats urged Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Wednesday to say whether U.N. ambassador nominee John Bolton was questioned in the investigation of the leak of the identity of CIA operative Valerie Plame.

Democrats on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee are trying to determine if Bolton answered a routine questionnaire truthfully when he indicated he had not been interviewed or asked to supply information for a recent grand jury investigation.

California Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer said Bolton, a blunt-spoken conservative who has drawn fire for his abrasive style, should not be sent to the U.N. post until lawmakers have a definite answer on the veracity of his response.

Citing reports President Bush may bypass the Senate and appoint Bolton while Congress takes its upcoming summer recess, Boxer said, "I urge in the strongest possible way" the Senate be allowed to continue work on the nomination.

Kick! Cause we all know it's Bolton.

Taking out Bolton and Rove, then possibly Bush, priceless.

She said to stay tuned because there's more to come out on Bolton that no one knows yet within the next couple of days.

Eddie didn't push her for any more info and she seemed to appreciate that.

It was a great interview BTW! Eddie's getting all the great ones these days!! :toast:
