Democrats Force Senate into Closed Session over Iraq Intel

Harry Reid comes out swinging - thanks Harry!

In a speech on the Senate floor, Democratic leader Harry Reid said the American people and U.S. troops deserved to know the details of how the United States became engaged in the war, particularly in light of the indictment of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff.
Reid demanded the Senate go into closed session. With a second by Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., the public was ordered out of the chamber, the lights were dimmed, senators filed to their seats on the floor and the doors were closed. No vote is required in such circumstances.
"The Libby indictment provides a window into what this is really all about, how this administration manufactured and manipulated intelligence in order to sell the war in Iraq and attempted to destroy those who dared to challenge its actions," Reid said before the doors were closed.

The Repugs response?

...(Trent) Lott said, Reid's move violated the Senate's tradition of courtesy and consent.

Courtesy? Dealing with lies, deception, death - Lott is looking for "courtesy"? No time to be nice Trent. Time to get to the truth. Time to demand answers.
