Close the Senate doors to discuss the Libby indictment?

Special prosecutor Fitzgerald “found no evidence of the broad [Iraq war] conspiracy hinted at by journalists, bloggers, and partisan pundits.” Fitzgerald said himself (see also here):

This indictment is not about the war. This indictment’s not about the propriety of the war, and people who believe furthering the war effort, people who oppose it, people who are — have mixed feelings about it should not look to this indictment for any resolution of how they feel or any vindication of how they feel. The indictment will not seek to prove that the war was justified or unjustified. This is stripped of that debate, and this is focused on a narrow transaction and I think anyone who’s concerned about the war and has feelings for or against shouldn’t look to this process for any answers or resolution of that.

So minority leader Harry Reid has just closed the doors of the U.S. Senate for a “review of Iraq war intelligence.”

Let’s see, how is barring the public and the press from the Senate going to “bring to light” any malfeasance, if there is any? This is just a plain political stunt to draw attention to the Libby indictment — and it worked. All the cable news networks are talking about nothing else right now. If you cannot get the indictment you want, turn to publicity stunts.
