Harry Reid condems Silberman "whitewash" commission on Senate floor
I was relieved that the President decided he was going to appoint an independent panel to review what took place in our going to Iraq, but after he made the decision to do that and appointed the panel, it was obvious it was just a hoax.

"Look at who is the co-chair of this panel. One of the most partisan people in all America is a man by the name of Judge Silberman. He is a person who wears proudly the label of a partisan, even though he hides it as often as he can from the public.

"As I said, I was glad that President Bush realized we need a commission to investigate what went wrong, although I would have preferred that Congress appoint members to ensure its independence. If this commission is going to do its job, it must be free of political influence. It must be above even the appearance of partisan bias.

"Throw those things out the window. Because there is not only the appearance of partisan bias. There is political bias.
