Shocking, right?
From Newsweek …
Sen. Joe Lieberman, the only Democrat to endorse President Bushâs new plan for Iraq, has quietly backed away from his pre-election demands that the White House turn over potentially embarrassing documents relating to its handling of the Hurricane Katrina disaster in New Orleans.
Liebermanâs reversal underscores the new role that he is seeking to play in the Senate as the leading apostle of bipartisanship, especially on national-security issues. On Wednesday night, Bush conspicuously cited Liebermanâs advice as being the inspiration for creating a new âbipartisan working groupâ on Capitol Hill that he said will âhelp us come together across party lines to win the war on terror.â
