On the recordSeptember 23, 2003
I am relating not necessarily to his comments specifically but to this general approach Members on the other side seem to use any time one of those in the Democratic caucus speaks out, expresses him or herself, raises concerns or in some way criticizes this administration with regard to its policy in Iraq. There is an orchestrated effort to attack those who criticize. I think it is unfair. I think it is unfortunate. It demeans the debate that we ought to be having in the Senate about these important issues.
