While many senators (including Kerry) parroted bogus stats supplied by Iraq "experts" on the imminent danger Saddam posed to the U.S., Rep.

Kirkland, Wash., is a leafy suburb of Seattle, on the shore of Lake Washington. A banner hangs over the main drag reminding visitors that Kirkland is the home of the 2007 Junior Softball World Series. Not far away stands a large unmarked building.
