<p>WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans on Wednesday slammed Democrats for even thinking of using intelligence information about the Iraq war against President Bush as a means to embarrass him during his 2004 re-election campaign.</p>
<p>"I never saw the kind of blatant partisan politics that has apparently emerged as revealed in this memo," Sen. John Kyl, R-Ariz., said on the Senate floor. "It is a disgusting possibility that members of the Senate would try to politicize intelligence, especially at a time of war ... it is reprehensible."</p>
