Orrin Hatch: Ventilator Screens direct quote on CNN
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0410/28/pzn.01.html
<snip>

ZAHN: What evidence do you have that would support that, sir?

HATCH: Well, I don't know that we do have any evidence other than the -- the satellite photos of the trucks and the fact that they're now admitting that there were only three -- three tons of RDX explosive at the time, rather than 141 tons.

You know, it's -- it looks to me like they must have cleaned that up before. And they could have done so without breaking the seals by going through the ventilator screens and they could easily be removed. And they could have taken the stuff out then.

One other thing, the commander on the ground said that it would have been virtually impossible for the insurgents to come in and take those materials, and Paul Bremer says the same, because the -- our country controlled all the roads there. It would have been virtually impossible.

Is this guy a mental midget or what ? Utah DU'ers, you know what to do with him now.

1. that is easier said than done - he's up for re-elect in 2006 but
his buddy Bennett is up right now. All we can hope for in Utah at this point, more local democrat seats, as our house and senate statewide numbers lean soooooo repuke. Found out last nite at GOTV meeting that we have some good chances to up some democratic numbers. Maybe by the time Hatch is up again we will have enough democrats in the state to kick is ass out. But as far as I can tell Bennett will take it by a considerable margin.

2. Orrin Hatch is a detective now? Coulda, Shoulda, Maybe NOT.
Desperate is as desperate does.
