Chris Dodd: “That we find ourselves in this situation at all is, in my mind, and the minds of many of my constituents, quite frankly…”

I had hoped we'd get in the lame duck session to the ratification of the Colombian Free Trade Agreement and the Panamanian Free Trade Agreement.

I frankly don't see the sovereignty issue as playing a role as an impediment as much as the sheer ability of the cartels to corrupt.

Maybe we ought to be spending a little more time looking at the relationships at that level.

President Clinton, to his eternal credit in my view, just does not quit on this issue.
