Back when Sen. Pat Roberts (R-KS) chaired the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, he chose to defer the committee’s long-awaited “Phase II” investigation into how the Bush administration used the Iraq intelligence in making the case for the war until the Pentagon inspector general’s report into the Office of Special Plans was completed.
Well, now it’s completed. So: Whither Phase II? We’ve got a call out to the office of Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV), the new chairman of the committee, and we’ll report back as soon as we can.
