FOX just had the familys attorney for Gulf War I vet Scott Spiecher shot down over Iraq and missing for 13 years.

They said that Senator Nelson told them that he is for the first time 'optimistic' of resolving the case after hearing a new Security Intelligence briefing from Baghdad.

Prayers he is still surviving in Tikrit or wherever Saddams thugs took him after the fall of Baghdad

A Recall AND a Fundraiser? I'm toast.

Can someone explain to me why going public that there is new intelligence is going to help in the recovery? Wouldn't it be better if Nelson kept his mouth shut instead of running out to the microphones?

Now the Iraqi's can move him again if he is alive!

Just my two cents but it would be nice if the Intelligence community was able to brief a Senator without him immediately notifying the world!

Or Saddam and sons are using Scott as a bargaining chip and this is trying to flush them out..

This just in from the Blabbermouth Department.

Nelson is a blabbermouth! Nothing more then someone who wants face time! Other Senators received this same information and they didn't go running to the mics! Think that says it all!

If he truly cared about Spiecher, he would shut-up.

Pat Roberts was doing the same on WMD's the other day and he is the Chairman of the Committee!

I agree, if Chairman Robert of the Select Committee on Intel cant control himself from rushing to the mikes on WMD discovery in Iraq a few days ago, how can he tell his subordinates to do so?
