State Dept. Now Says Bolton Interviewed

By MARK SHERMAN, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - John Bolton, President Bush’s nominee for U.N. ambassador, neglected to tell Congress he had been interviewed in a government investigation into faulty prewar intelligence that Iraq was seeking nuclear materials in Africa, the State Department said.

Democratic senators said the admission should forestall Bush from using his authority to give Bolton a temporary appointment to the U.N. post, without Senate confirmation, when the Senate goes on vacation in August.

This should eliminate Bush’s naming of this whack to the post as a recess appointment. It should, but probably won’t.
