SECRET MEETING IN THE SENATE
Democrats forced the Republican-controlled Senate into an unusual closed session yesterday. Senate Minority leader Harry Reid is demanding an accounting of what went wrong with the intelligence that President Bush used to justify the war in Iraq. He accused Republican members of the Intelligence Committee, who were supposed to study this issue, of stonewalling. Republicans deny this, but the indictment of Lewis “Scooter” Libby, and accusations that pre-war assessments of Iraq’s WMDs may have been intentionally exaggerated have Democrats fuming. Larry talks to Gail Chaddock, Congressional Correspondent, for The Christian Science Monitor, Jim Manley, a spokesman for Senator Harry Reid, and Max Boot, conservative columnist for The Los Angeles Times.
