Hi there,

The media can be the greatest force for peace on Earth. Instead, all too often, it’s wielded as a weapon of war. That's why we have to take the media back. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority – those calling for peace in a time of war, demanding action on the climate catastrophe and advocating for racial and economic justice. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Senate Plans Section Session on Iraq, First Since ’99

HeadlineFeb 27, 2004

On Capitol Hill, the Senate is preparing to meet in a secret closed-door session for the first time since 1999 during the height of the impeachment trial of President Clinton. According to the Chicago Tribune, the Senate will meet in the coming weeks to scrutinize flaws in the country’s prewar intelligence about Iraq. One senior Democratic aide said “The senators who voted for the Iraq resolution want to see how the intelligence they based that vote on could be that wrong. This is a very rare occasion, and any time a closed session would be called, it would be about the most important type of debates.”
