President Bush has cancelled a classified briefing on the situation in Iraq, according to a letter from four Democratic senators obtained by RAW STORY.

US Ambassador to Iraq Zalmay Khalilzad had been set to brief Senators today. Democratic aides tell RAW STORY that the meeting, set to address "all members," was cancelled abruptly yesterday. Requests for a briefing by another administration official went unanswered.

Could it have anything to do with stuff like this?!?

It might have also hd to do with the fact that they knew where he was and didn't want that getting out.

What does that have to do with a classified briefing? The briefing still could have been conducted.
