Dear Senator Durbin:

Please explain further.

I can understand Tenet's silence. It's to be expected from the lumbering elephants. Their pattern is always: obfuscate, F'itUBAR, receive medal, resign, sit on hands for said predetermined period of years, write book, and collect millions.

However, when you knew we were being sold a bill of goods, regardless of the required sworn secrecy of the hearings, was there no opportunity to air the fact, to even hint, that the rationale being promulgated was nothing like what you had heard in super-top-secret meetings in the buildup to this fiasco of a war?

To your credit you did vote against it, and we should have noted that and questioned that fact in those oh so heady Rah! Rah! days.

However I do think we require further explanation of your possible complicity in the snow-job blown into our eyes in the selling of this war.

Just asking.

I'm more concerned why John Edwards on the same committee, with the same information, would have co-sponsored the IWR and voted for it. He is the one who is running for president, not Dick Durbin.

Most curious point. I guess I'm tasking Durbin because he has been the more belatedly honest. Most unfair on my part.

But he is my senator, and I will be watching this story closely.

I must also add that I have found him to be, at best, ingrequently inspiring.
