Dorgan to GOP: 'Knock it off' on plane attack criticism

A key air security panel on Capitol Hill is to hold hearings in the wake of the Christmas Day terrorist attack on a Detroit-bound passenger flight.

Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.), the chairman of an aviation security panel, on Wednesday said that he and Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.), the chairman of the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, agreed to hold a series of hearings on transportation security issues in the aftermath of the failed bombing.

Dorgan also called on GOP critics who have bashed the Obama administration for its response to the failed attack to stop their criticism.

“I hope those few members of Congress who are trying to use this terrorist attack for their own partisan gain will knock it off,” Dorgan said in a statement issued Wednesday. “Our country deserves better than to have people try to use a terrorist attack for political gain.”
