There has always been a 'phase two' part of the investigation in the plan. The following was released on June 17, 2004.

Here's what they're demanding (in bold) They want a commiment to the second phase of the Senate Intelligence Committee..

Senate Intelligence Committee Unanimously Approves Pre-War Intelligence Report
WASHINGTON, DC– Senator Pat Roberts, Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and Senator John D. Rockefeller IV, the Committee's Vice Chairman, issued the following joint statement:
"Today, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence voted unanimously to approve its report on pre-war intelligence regarding Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programs, ties to terrorists, threat to regional stability and violations of human rights. Today's vote is the culmination of over one year of intense scrutiny by the Committee of the Intelligence Community's pre-war assessments. The Committee is currently engaged with the Central Intelligence Agency over the issue of classification. The Committee is extremely disappointed by the CIA's excessive redactions to the report. Our goal is to release publicly as much of the report's findings and conclusions as soon as possible. We will work toward that goal, as we continue our work on phase two of the Committee's review."

Apparently Reid & Co. are complaining that it's taken well over a year for Roberts to move toward Phase Two and decided to pull this stunt so the public is aware of GOP stonewalling. In short Friday's indictment did not bring the results they hoped and the MSM have moved on to Alito and bird flu.

Senate has always prided themselves on decorum and congeniality. Good old dem apologist Matthews said that was the old Senate and Frist broke the rules when he campaigned against Daschle in his own State. In other words whatever stunts the dems come up with is fair game now. Political theater on the grandest scale.
