39. That is correct. But only 6 Senators did read it, so she wasn't alone in negligence.
Sen. Bob Graham pleaded with his fellow Senators to read the full, 92-page classified NIE, which differed considerably from the filtered unclassified version, but so many failed to do so -- including both the Senators on the Democratic ticket last time around, both of whom also voted for the war.

Personally, my belief is that if we say we want to hold accountable those who led us into this disastrous war, then we cannot only go after Republicans. Some blame lies at the feet of our Democratic leaders.
