Wichita Eagle | 02/18/2006 | EDITORIAL: ROBERTS' CREDIBILITY ON LINE: "EDITORIAL: ROBERTS' CREDIBILITY ON LINE
Many Kansans, including members of The Eagle editorial board, have long admired Sen. Pat Roberts for his plainspokenness and reputation for fair brokering of issues.
So it's troubling that Roberts, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is fast gaining the reputation in Washington, D.C., as a reliable partisan apologist for the Bush administration on intelligence and security controversies.
We hope that's not true. But Roberts' credibility is on the line.
From Abu Ghraib abuses to secret CIA detainee prisons to the Valerie Plame affair, critics say, Roberts has become a dependable shill for the White House, ever ready to shield Bush policy from criticism and ever willing to compromise Congress' legitimate oversight role."
Shill. Wow. Tuff word from Republicans about Republicans. I am amazed.
