during the televised senate hearings on the Abu Ghurayb Prison
situation ... there were a number of senators that went on for great
length about what they felt had happened. numerous times a senator's
question was preceeded by 10-15 min. statement about what the senator
felt had happened. numerous times the people testifying observed that
what the senator may have felt had happened, in no way corresponded
with any available facts and testimony. Some of the senators
afterwards acknowledged that their preliminary feeling statements
about the facts, had been based on no information what-so-ever (other
than possibly the sensational headlines that had been playing in the
press).

however, one senator went so far as to say that his version of the
facts and the version of the facts from testimony would both be
published in the congressional record.

another senator apparently was so irritated about all of his
statements (about what he felt the facts were) being methodically
refuted by extensive testimony and explanation (publicly on live TV)
... on his way out after the session, was caught live on TV,
commenting to the person next to him, that he was going to personally
see that Rumsfeld was removed from office. It didn't appear that he
believed that there was false testimony or any wrong doing by the
administration ... other than possibly showing up a senator on public
TV.
