Call me paranoid

What the hell were they talking about for two hours?

"Democrats forced the Republican-controlled Senate into an unusual closed session Tuesday, questioning intelligence that President Bush used in the run-up to the war in Iraq and accusing Republicans of ignoring the issue."

Republican leaders acted like they were blindsided and angry, but a majority vote could have ended the private session anytime.

Instead, "The public was ordered out of the chamber, the lights were dimmed, and the doors were closed." For two hours!

What the hell were they talking about?

Officially, "Democrats sought assurances that Intelligence Committee Chairman Pat Roberts of Kansas would complete the second phase of an investigation of the administration's prewar intelligence. After about two hours, senators returned to open session having appointed a six-member task force - three members from each party - to review the committee's progress and report back to their respective leaders by Nov. 14."

But a conference committee has been working on the final version of the "new improved" USAPATRIOT Act, President Bush is asking for $7 billion to fight the so-far nonexistent avian flu pandemic, and there is no substantive difference between the Big Government Democrat Party and the Big Government Republican Party.

So what the hell were they really talking about that they didn't want the American people to hear?
