"Today is an ominous day for the country, signifying a new low since Watergate in terms of openness and honesty in our government...

...This is far more than an indictment of an individual.

In effect it's an indictment of the vicious and devious tactics used by the Administration to justify a war we never should have fought. It's an indictment of the lengths Administration officials were willing to go to cover up their failed intelligence, their distortion on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, and their serious blunders on the war. It is an indictment of their vindictive efforts to discredit anyone who challenge their misrepresentations."

- Sen. Ted Kennedy
