7. FWIW -

When the Bolton hearings first started, I sent the following letter to Voinovich and all the Dems on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee:

Dear Senator:

On January 26, 1998, John Bolton signed a letter to President Clinton issued by the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) urging an attack on Iraq to remove Saddam Hussein from power. Other signators to the PNAC letter include Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Elliott Abrams, Richard Perle, Richard Armitage, and Zalmay Khalilzad, who were all elevated into the Bush Administration hierarchy immediately after the 2000 Election.

Mr. Bolton has already battled allegations of exaggerating intelligence on Cuba's alleged biological weapons program but his role in helping to create the "faulty intelligence" leading to the Iraq war should also be closely scrutinized considering his earlier participation in promoting the PNAC's agenda towards the Middle East.

I encourage you to read "PNAC 101".for a broader overview to their inner workings and a clearer understanding of the danger associated with appointing Mr. Bolton :as Ambassador to the U.N.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
==============================

If any of their staff read the PNAC link and passed it on, our Congresscritters KNOW! I've oftened wondered if Voinovich was publically reduced to tears because he came to realize just how evil and dangerous the Bush" cabal truly is.
