Senator Edward KENNEDY REACTION TO INDICTMENT

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Today is an ominous day for the country, signifying a new low since Watergate in terms of openness and honesty in our government. This is far more than an indictment of an individual. In effect it's an indictment of the vicious and devious tactics used by the Administration to justify a war we never should have fought. It's an indictment of the lengths Administration officials were willing to go to cover up their failed intelligence, their distortion on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, and their serious blunders on the war. It is an indictment of their vindictive efforts to discredit anyone who challenge their misrepresentations.

The American people know the high cost of this misguided war -- 2,000 U.S. soldiers dead, more than 15,000 wounded, hundreds of billions of dollars spent with no end in sight, and a continuing shameful effort by the White House to silence those who try to tell the truth about the war. Dissent is the ultimate form of patriotism, and it's time we return to having an honest discourse in this country about changing direction and paying attention to the needs of the American people. The President should take this opportunity to do everything he can to heal the country by not interfering with the prosecution of this case or the continuing investigation, and by cleaning house at the White House to immunize the country against any further corruption and dishonesty.

As the President promised, anyone still in the White House who had anything to do with this scandalous plot or the cover-up should be dismissed immediately, whether or not they have been indicted. Something has to give — America can't stand three more years of this failed Bush presidency

[Armstead]

8. Ted's no cheap talker

If there were more like him, he would most likely be out in front of many things.

I remember calling his office before the IWR vote (he's one of my Senators) to ask that he vote against it. The person on the phone gave a clear straightforward answer. "He is definetly voting against it."

9. hear!

hear!

[carolinalady]

10. I hope he takes the lead on re-investigation of the Niger

connection then. I will personally appologize to him for any sarcastic remarks that are spewing from my mouth.

[Tatiana]

11. AND he is one of the only Dem Senators pushing for an increase in the

minimum wage.

He's a good Senator.

[Jim Sagle]

13. Ted RRRRRAWWWWWKSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

[BlueIris]

14. Ted K, still leaps and bounds beyond most of his brethren, nails it.

He's like his brothers in this way, sometimes the only one in a room to declare: HELLO, THIS is the POINT, SACK UP AND SAY IT! Thanks, man. You know I love you.
