Hoekstra responds to NYTimes
Michelle Malkin

I'm reprinting U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra's entire statement:

"Yesterday's article by the New York Times highlights a number of important issues with respect to Iraq's WMD programs, as well as the importance of the documents that have been recovered in Iraq," said U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-MI), Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. "I am pleased that the document release program continues to stimulate public discussion of these issues.  ...

If you opposed the invasion of Iraq, you believe I'm a drooling moron, an imbicile, have no capacity for reading comprehension, and am a desperate hack willing to do anything to preserve the power of Dennis Hastert. (I'd like to introduce those readers to the ones who thought I was on a cruel, mean-spirited and fundamentally unfair jihad against Dennis Hastert, oh, about two weeks ago.)

If you supported the invasion of Iraq, you think I've nailed it, this is huge, etc. Generally, these readers' biggest concern is how it will be spun, whether the voters at large will hear it, etc. ...
