This is the introduction page for the Washington Post’s excellent new front-page series, “Congress’s War over the War”: “Last week’s all-night Senate session on Iraq…was as packed with color as it was barren of consequences….” There are links to stories on four individual lawmakers spanning the main points of view. These are: Representatives Dan Boren (D-Oklahoma) – “The Conservative Democrat” – and Jan Schakowsky (D-Illinois) – “The Antiwar Liberal” – and Senators Johnny Isakson (R-Georgia) – “The Loyal Republican” and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) – “The Anguished Moderate”. Superb, in-depth reporting, the kind of Congressional coverage the Washington Post specializes in. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED…BS
