Frist would be kicking some butt, but unfortunately Newmax has got the story wrong. No other news organization is reporting that the Committee is disbanded.

You're kidding. I should of known it sounded too good to be true.

Frist Freezes Senate Probe of Prewar Iraq Data

By Walter Pincus and Dana Priest Washington Post Staff Writers Saturday, November 8, 2003; Page A18

Angry about a leaked Democratic memo, the Republican leadership of the Senate yesterday took the unusual step of canceling all business of the committee investigating prewar intelligence on Iraq.

Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) called on the author of the memo -- which laid out a possible Democratic strategy to extend the investigation to include the White House and executive branch -- to "identify himself or herself . . . disavow this partisan attack in its entirety" and deliver "a personal apology" to Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence.
