WASHINGTON - A government document raises doubts about claims al-Qaida members received training for biological and chemical weapons in Iraq, as Senate Democrats on Sunday defended their push for a report on how the Bush administration handled prewar intelligence.

Democrats forced the Senate into an unusual closed session last week as they sought assurances the Intelligence Committee would complete an investigation of intelligence about Iraq before the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003.

Republicans said the session was a stunt and that the report, after nearly two years, was nearly complete. They did agree to appoint a bipartisan task force to review the committee's progress and report by Nov. 14.

"We cannot have a government which is going to manipulate intelligence information. We've got to get to the bottom of it," Sen. Edward Kennedy (news, bio, voting record), D-Mass., said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

Go Ted!! :)

1. This is both useful and useless

Useful in a limited way: one follows the paper trail for, if nothing else, the truth.

Useless in all other respects: the Democratic Party is still irrationally in favor of this war, despite mounting public opposition. When will the dullards ever get it?

So while it conducts its token inquiries, we see through it. Imperialists are imperialists whether they're Republicans or Democrats.
