Democrats Put Senate Into Closed Session
Leader Demands Investigation Into Pre-Iraq War Intelligence
By LIZ SIDOTI, AP


WASHINGTON (Nov. 1) - Democrats forced the Republican-controlled Senate into an unusual closed session Tuesday, questioning intelligence that President Bush used in the run-up to the war in Iraq and accusing Republicans of ignoring the issue.

"They have repeatedly chosen to protect the Republican administration rather than get to the bottom of what happened and why," Democratic leader Harry Reid said.

Taken by surprise, Republicans derided the move as a political stunt.

"The United States Senate has been hijacked by the Democratic leadership," said Majority Leader Bill Frist. "They have no convictions, they have no principles, they have no ideas," the Republican leader said.

In a speech on the Senate floor, Reid demanded the Senate go into closed session. The public was ordered out of the chamber, the lights were dimmed, and the doors were closed. No vote is required in such circumstances.

Inside the Senate, Democrats sought assurances that Roberts would hold hearings into prewar intelligence. The Senate had been considering a budget bill when it went into closed session.

There's another, similar poll on the Lou Dobbs Tonight page:

http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/lou.dobbs.tonight/

83% say that his actions were motivated by concern (1027) and 17% (207) say that it was a political stunt.

Are all the DUers out answering polls tonight like I am? LOL

nt.

"The Libby indictment provides a window into what this is really all about, how this administration manufactured and manipulated intelligence in order to sell the war in Iraq and attempted to destroy those who dared to challenge its actions," Reid said before invoking Senate rules that led to the closed session.

At least on this one the first question is fair (right or wrong).

The second one, though, is a push-poll question, just like Dobbs'. :puke:
