Regarding the DSM, did our Democratic Senators do enough
and if no, why?

If you can get out of the Kerry-bshing for a moment, may be you can ask yourself the question:

Nice senators signed the letters to the Intelligence Committee.

None went on TV and spoke.

Why did the Senators do so little when it came to this issue?

1. They could do more now, by tieing Rovegate together with DSM. Also,
the Town Hall meetings are supposed to be taking place this weekend.

2. They definitively could have done more
but I think they were too afraid to agitate the issue and make waves.

They considered that the issue was not something people cared about, or probably that it was something that people already knew.

Still I think they could have made more.

3. Two senators have mentioned DSM on national TV, Corzine and Kerry.
Nine senators signed Kerry's letter to the Senate Intel Committee to continue their unfinished investigation into the White House's role in bad Iraq intel, and that the DSM provides key evidence for the investigating committee.

Why is the Senate dawdling and why aren't more senators clamoring for the committee to COMPLETE the task they already committed to on the agenda?

4. I do not remember Kerry, but I may have missed it.

6. Bizarre that Kerry gets bashed for doing something
and those who do nothing get a pass...
