By Paul Kiel - August 29, 2006, 7:09 PM

So here we are. Thanks to the great efforts of TPMm readers, TPMm's "Secret Hold" tally has worked its way down to six suspects.

They are: Sens. Robert Byrd (D-WV), Mike Crapo (R-ID), Judd Gregg (R-NH), Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Ted Stevens (R-AK), and Robert Bennett (R-UT).

6. Why can't a citizen file an FOIA request to find out who it is?

The public has a right to know how its money is being spent and how the ELECTED Congress is carrying out its business. If not, this is no democracy, this is no Republic, this is no free nation. Why hasn't JW been on this? What about Ralph Nader? I don't care if it's a Dem or Republican, this is total bullshit!
