Remember how it helped defraud a nation into an aggressive war and occupation that has left nearly a million Iraqis and 4,000 Americans dead? Remember how the declassified bits distorted the truth much further than the full report? If you do remember that document, one thing is certain: You are not Senator Jay Rockefeller. While the Democrats were in the minority in 2005 and 2006, Rockefeller led the griping brigade. When, oh when!, would the Republicans running the Senate Intelligence Committee investigate and produce a report on how we were misled into a war? After six and a half months of Democratic rule, with Senator Rockefeller chairing the committee, guess what? You guessed it: no report, no hearings, and no griping Quote
