Body of War (2007)

A powerful representative and senator from the state of West Virginia, Robert Carlyle Byrd left an impressive mark on American politics. The longest serving senator in U.S. history with over 51 years in office, he was considered "the Dean of the Senate" - a true master of the body's arcane rules and procedures. He led the Senate Democrats from 1977-1986. A man of strong convictions, he made news in 2003 by leading criticism against President George W. Bush's Iraq war policies.

Quotes
There is no credible information to connect Saddam Hussein to 9/11. The twin towers fell because a world-wide terrorist group, al-Qaeda, with cells in over 60 nations, struck at our wealth and our influence by turning our own planes into missiles, one of which would likely have slammed into the dome of this beautiful Capitol except for the brave sacrifice of the passengers on board.
