The former Ambassador, either by design or through ignorance, gave the American people and, for that matter, the world a version of events that was inaccurate, unsubstantiated, and misleading. Surely, the Senate Intelligence Committee, which has unique access to all of the facts, should have been able to agree on a conclusion that would correct the public record. Unfortunately, we were unable to do so
Yes Pat Roberts, you as the Majority leader of the investigation failed in your duty to the American people and proved once again how weak you and your party are when it come to true leadership. Thank God we have George Bush as President because if we had to count on Republican Senators to guide this country we would be lost for certain.
What we need in the Senate is Tom DeLay x sixty. Right now we have Tom DeLay x zero. A bunch of spineless Republicans who let jerks like Rockefeller run all over them.
This investigation was 24/7 politics from the get-go. Any party worth their salt would have have seen this coming and would have resolved to write the truth and take the consequences which would have been a non-unanomous report. Big deal. We need a report that the lying Dems can sign up to like a hole in the head. Pat Roberts failed us. The Republican Party failed us. If they get tossed out of the leadership in November it should surprise no one.
“a little literary flair.”

You are CORRECT.
The Republicans could have made a stink, called it a 'coverup' a 'partisan slander' that Dems are trying to support, etc. Dems pull cr*p and then dont get called on it or pay a price for it, so *of course* they do it again and again.
The Republicans should have refused to issue the report without these facts. What is the point of being the majority if you can't reveal the truth?
The Pubbies were, in fact, told it was coming. Recall the "draft memo" by Rockefeller's staff...
