. . .

According to Wolf, two other staff members had to be protected by John Wolf or they would have been "disciplined" and removed from their positions.

There is also one other case of a senior level State Department official whom Bolton engaged in serious abusive and harmful tactics against. This individual is considering coming forward, and all I can say is that the case is complicated and not reportable yet -- other than that another serious matter at higher levels in the State Department is developing.

This is serious, major news. I don't believe that Lincoln Chafee or Chuck Hagel could in good conscience vote for John Bolton after reading the interviews with John Wolf.
. . .

I'm actually feeling quite upbeat about matters and very much look forward to hearing President Bush, yet again, reiterate his support for John Bolton.

We are ready to fight this out, and those Republicans and Democrats that don't want to have this disagreeable and inappropriate candidate for the U.N. Ambassadorship rammed down our throats are the ones on the high road.

7. Congresswoman Waters Demands Senate Investigate(Bolton) Arms Shipment

Congresswoman Waters Demands That The Senate Investigate (Bolton) Arms Shipment To Haiti

For Immediate Release
Call [phone]

Washington, D.C. -- Today, Rep. Maxine Waters (CA-35) released a statement denouncing last year's shipment of thousands of weapons to Haiti by the U.S. Government, in violation of a 13-year-old arms embargo on Haiti, and demanding that the United States investigate why John Bolton allowed these weapons sales to occur while serving as Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Affairs. Her statement follows recent press reports that a State Department official admitted that the United States transported 2,657 weapons to Haiti last August to train and equip the Haitian National Police. These weapons included several M-14 rifles and sub-machine guns, as well as over 2000 revolvers and hundreds of pistols. The Congresswoman's statement follows:

I am deeply disturbed to learn that, over the weekend, the U.S. State Department admitted that the United States shipped thousands of lethal weapons to Haiti last year, in violation of our government's 13-year-old embargo on arms shipments to Haiti and despite the dreadful human rights record of Haiti's unelected interim government.

I call upon the United States Senate to investigate these arms shipments to Haiti, which occurred while John Bolton was serving as Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Affairs. It is critical that Senators determine why John Bolton allowed the arms embargo on Haiti to be violated before they vote on his nomination to the position of United States Ambassador to the United Nations.
