The Bush administration is not trying to stop an investigation by the Intelligence Committe in Congress, they simply do not want an independent commission to delve into it for circus reason.

But ... people must understand - most of this is just a get even scheme from the dems. They have never gotten over impeachment. Even though they know we were right, they are still holding a grudge.
Winning big for the repubs in November is crucial!!
