Raw Story
President Bush has cancelled a classified briefing on the situation in Iraq, according to a letter from four Democratic senators obtained by RAW STORY.
US Ambassador to Iraq Zalmay Khalilzad had been set to brief Senators today. Democratic aides tell RAW STORY that the meeting, set to address "all members," was cancelled abruptly yesterday. Requests for a briefing by another administration official went unanswered.
In the letter, four U.S. Senators call on the White House to "publicly and immediately commit to making senior Administration officials available" for questioning regarding the current state of Iraq.
Although the correspondence states that the group was set to be bipartisan, just four Senators, all high-ranking Democrats, are known by RAW STORY to have signed: Reid (D-NV), Durbin (D-IL), Levin (D-MI) and Biden (D-DE).
