Crooks and Liars » Sen. Durbin Drops Bombshells on the Senate Floor Sworn to secrecy as a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Sen. Dick Durbin, D-IL knew the American public was being fed lies in the run-up to the Iraq war, because he was hearing the true secret evidence in a room not far from the Senate chamber, and had to sit and listen to debates in the Senate that he knew were shored up by lies, damn lies, and statistics.

Daily Kos: Incriminating Goodling email found This is actually a "catch" from Anonymous Liberal at FireDogLake: As a litigator, I can tell you, that's a real no-no. You never instruct people to delete documents that are relevant to a pending investigation. Never. That's true even when the investigating body hasn't yet got around to requesting those documents.

It's not a pretty story, and there's been very little more reported since this story from early April: Millionaire Found Dead In Miami Hotel – News Story – WPLG Miami MIAMI — It's not the place one would expect a millionaire to turn up dead.
