CRS has not responded to each of the chairman's letters. It seems that they are placing higher values on their press clippings than concerns of members of Congress.

The chairman very much believes the issue of weapons of mass destruction is not settled yet and there are sufficient questions of organized looting, transfer to another country or party or things that may have been missed by the [Iraq] Survey Group.

All these things are critical elements.

The chairman [Hoekstra] is very upset by this. He wants to be certain that there was no attempt to do anything wrong to his committee. He honestly believes that given the very sensitive nature of what this committee does, there has to be certainty that there was no attempt to manipulate certain processes or abuse any information.

I planned so well for my post-'Cosby Show' life that I don't have to make desperate acting choices that conflict with what my values.

Is it cross-contamination from the Leahy-Daschle letters? Could've been. Is that the easy way out? Maybe.
