| Pentagon challenges Rockefeller on Feith hit |
| 2004-07-14 |
| via Wash Times - EFL By Rowan Scarborough - June 14, 2004 The Pentagon is accusing Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV of distorting the intelligence work of its No. 3 civilian official, and calling on the Democrat to prove his charges or retract them. It is unusual for the Pentagon to formally take on a sitting senator. In this case, the challenge came in a letter to Mr. Rockefeller on Friday from Powell A. Moore, the assistant secretary of defense for legislative affairs. "On behalf of the department, I request that, if you have any evidence supporting the serious charge you floated during your press conference, you provide it to the department," Mr. Moore wrote to Mr. Rockefeller of West Virginia, ranking Democrat on the Senate SelectCommittee on Intelligence,who has emerged as one of the Senate’s fiercest critics of President Bush. "If there is not evidence, then a retraction and apology would be appropriate," said the letter, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Times. ...more... So Senator Partisanshit has had his bluff called. Good. Put up or STFU. |

| #2 Rockefeller is the sleaziest, oiliest looking guy in Congress (and that's saying a lot). Bush, Rummy, et al., should attack him in W. Va. |
