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.”
