These guys really do have a way with words, don't they?

Though he referred to the war in Iraq and the deaths of American troops in that country as “criminal” in a speech on the Senate floor last night, Senator Gordon Smith (R-OR) insists he did not mean the word to imply the conflict was a breach of either domestic or international law, RAW STORY has learned.

Only metaphorically a crime, R.C. Hammond, a Smith spokesbimbo, says. Which is probably why he gets the big bucks.

Meanwhile Smith continues...
I would have never voted for this conflict had I reason to believe that the intelligence we had was not accurate. It was not accurate, but that is history.

In other words, tough luck.

No explanation for why Smith gets paid.
