Sen. Roberts seeks delay of Intel probe

Pat Roberts is a lying sack of s---!

Sen. Roberts seeks delay of Intel probe:

"Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), who chairs the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, said he wants to divide his panel's inquiry into the Bush administration's handling of Iraq-related intelligence into two parts, a move that would push off its most politically controversial elements to a later time.

The inquiry has dragged on for more than two years, a slow pace that prompted Democrats to force the Senate into an extraordinary closed-door session in November. Republicans then promised to speed up the probe.

Roberts said in an interview shortly before the April recess that he could bring up the matter in a business meeting of the Intelligence Committee scheduled for tomorrow.

'We went over three reports that members are studying,' Roberts said, referring to three less controversial components of his committee's inquiry. Roberts said his committee could approve the immediate publication of those components."
