Records: Senators who OK'd war didn't read key report

A new biography of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has once again raised the issue of whether members of Congress read a key intelligence report before the 2002 vote to authorize war in Iraq.

Clinton did not read the 90-page, classified National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq, according to "Her Way: The Hopes and Ambitions of Hillary Rodham Clinton."

For members of Congress to read the report, they had to go to a secure location on Capitol Hill. The Washington Post reported in 2004 that no more than six senators and a handful of House members were logged as reading the document.

Six? Fucking six? That really means that 94 didn't read it. Ninety-fucking-four! What the hell do they do out there on the Hill anyway? Why do we pay you lazy sumbitches?

And yet, we allow them to get away with such non-action.

We all should be pissed off!

Here's more.
