Republican Senators Endorse Amnesty For Terrorists As Iraqi PM Fires Aid Who Proposed It...

After one of his top aides told a reporter that Iraq was "ready to give amnesty to the so-called resistance," Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki scrambled to distance himself from the idea that he would pardon insurgents who had killed American troops. As Senate Democrats called for President Bush to denounce an amnesty plan, Maliki accepted the resignation of the aide, Adnan Ali al-Kadhimi, and issued a statement saying that the aide "does not represent the government on this issue," although previous statements indicated that Maliki was indeed prepared to offer amnesty to any fighters that "were not involved in the shedding of Iraqi blood."

Meanwhile, five members of the GOP Senate took the floor and declared support for the amnesty proposal. Senator Ted Stevens (R-Ak.) said, "if that's amnesty, I'm for it," while Senator Cornyn (R-Tx.) called the amnesty debate a "distraction."
