Lott Suspects Fellow Republicans in Prison Disclosure

HeadlineNov 09, 2005

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Times reports Republican Senator Trent Lott said senators from his own party might be responsible for the leak. Lott said the secret prison facilities were discussed at a Republican luncheon on Capitol Hill — one day before the Post published its report November 2nd. Vice President Cheney was among those in attendance. Lott said : “Information that was said in there, given out in there, did get into the newspaper. I don’t know where else it came from…. It looked to me that at least one of those reports came right out of that room.”
