Rule 21

Today the Dems stood up and grabbed their cojones for all the world to see by invoking Rule 21, which puts the senate into closed session. Their complaint was started because the Republicans refused to investigate "Phase 2" of the report on the war in Iraq. "Phase 1" was released last fall detailing the failings of the intelligence used to invade Iraq. Phase 2 was intended to investigate the ways in which the intelligence was used by the White House, but was delayed until after the election. Senator Pat Roberts, head of the Intelligence Committee, stonewalled and today the Dems stood up and said "No". Phase 2 will be produced in a committee with 3 members from each party. Good work Dems.
