Is Rockefeller Now the One Stalling?

The other day I reviewed at length Sen. Jay Rockefeller's capitulation on telecom immunity and suggested that this was one of several instances where Rockefeller had been steamrolled by his GOP foes. The most notable of those other instances was when, as the then ranking member, he failed to push for and get completion of the so-called Phase II investigation into intelligence during the buildup to the Iraq War. Time and again, then-Chairman Pat Roberts (R-KS) stalled and delayed the report. By the time Rockefeller took over as committee chair in January, Phase II still had not been completed. Ten months later it still isn't, and as CQ's Tim Starks reports, it's the Republicans who are now complaining.
