In their vaned attempt to deflect the nations attention away from the probe called for by Harry Reid to investigate if Bush and/or Cheney manipulated and lied about intelligence information on Iraq, these guys decided they would surprise the Dems by entrapping one of them in a leak probe of the gulags we have in Eastern Eurupe. Looks like that may backfire on them and I am wondering if they will now completely drop the investigation?
CNN's Ed Henry: "Trent Lott stunned reporters by declaring that this subject was actually discussed at a Senate Republican luncheon, Republican senators only, last Tuesday the day before the story ran in the Washington Post. Lott noted that Vice President Cheney was also in the room for that discussion and Lott said point blank "a lot of it came out of that room last Tuesday, pointing to the room where the lunch was held in the capitol." He added of senators "we can't keep our mouths shut." He added about the vice president, "He was up here last wek and talked up here in that room right there in a roomful of nothing but senators and every word that was said in there went right to the newspaper." He said he believes when all is said and done it may wind up as an ethics investigation of a Republican senator, maybe a Republican staffer as well. Senator Frist's office not commenting on this development. The Washington Post not commenting either."
