Pat Roberts is getting annoyed @ Dems for asking for Snoopgate hearings

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/26/politics/26nsa.html?_r=1

<snip>

In yet another letter, Senator Pat Roberts of Kansas, the Republican who leads the Intelligence Committee, fired back expressing annoyance over the Democrats' complaints.

Mr. Roberts said he was already planning a closed-door briefing for the committee by the Justice Department on Feb. 1, and another closed-door meeting related to the program two weeks after that. He suggested that Democrats had bypassed protocol by making their pleas public before giving him a chance to respond.

"I think we can all agree that intelligence issues, especially in the middle of a war, should not be used as fodder for political advantage," Mr. Roberts said. "Doing so is unnecessary, unwise and potentially dangerous."

5. Damn, I thought he was bitching about me
He and Brownback are my senators :eyes: I keep calling, writing and e-mailing them even though their minds are made up. I refuse to let them think they are representing all Kansans.
