Point of Order!!!

Here's a partial from AP...sounds good to me. Bolton would be a horror at the UN.

At least one Democratic senator, Sen. Christopher J. Dodd, D-Conn., said he will ask for a closed session so the committee can hear from intelligence officials about information Bolton requested relating to National Security Agency communications.
According to a spokesman for Dodd, Bolton asked for and received the identities of 10 U.S. officials involved in such secret NSA intercepts during the past four years.
"It's not clear what purpose Mr. Bolton was using this information for," said Dodd spokesman Marvin Fast. "The senator is concerned because it's his understanding that this information is rarely requested, and he wants to ensure that it was for official purposes only."
Democrats also want more information about Bolton's dealings with a woman employee during his time at the Justice Department in the late 1980s. The two clashed over the woman's request for extended maternity leave.
There were repeated questions by senators at his confirmation hearing last week concerning what Bolton may have done to punish or pressure underlings who crossed him. A senior colleague called him a "serial abuser."
Bolton Said He 'Lost Confidence' in Analysts
Bolton denied he did anything improper, but said he had "lost confidence" in two intelligence analysts who disagreed with him. Bolton also acknowledged that he had asked a U.S. spy agency for details of the secretly recorded communications of other U.S. officials.
Additional stories and details surfaced after the hearing, including that John McLaughlin, then the CIA's No. 2 official, intervened in 2002 to save the job of a Latin America analyst whom Bolton wanted transferred. The case of another analyst who had tangled with Bolton also emerged after the hearing. In that instance, Bolton allegedly accused the State Department officer of insubordination.
On Monday, The Washington Post reported anonymous allegations that Bolton often blocked former Secretary of State Colin Powell from receiving sensitive information for ideological or other reasons.
