Senator Byrd was one of the strongest opponents to and voted against the U.S. invasion of Iraq where we have wasted so much in lives and money. So, he is ok in my book.

Sharyl Attkisson does not seem to have a problem with 600 billion dollars spent killing about 1 million Iraqis.

Let''s see, that''s about 2,000 per man woman and child in America.

Oh, yes, she''s a fighter for monetary reform, she is.

The distain I have for her is beyond imagining.

She tried this character assassination before didn''t she?

What is she, just a one trick pony?

Sen. Byrd has done more good for ordinary Americans including those in his state than Katie Couric and all of CBS News has or will ever do.

The Story on Sen. Byrd makes me ill. He''s one of the many reasons that people are so very sick of our government. Senator Byrd is the poster child for term limits!

CBS wastes time ''reporting'' that Senator Byrd spent $3Billion in West Virginia since 1991. God forbid the money was spent on West Virginians -- Americans. The Citizens Against Government Waste goes after spending on Americans, but IGNORES $2Billion we waste each week in Iraq. In a week and a half in Iraq we waste more taxpayer dollars than Byrd has sent to West Virginia in 16 years! $3.6Million per week on Americans in WV vs $2Billion per week in Iraq! While Senator Byrd spends money on WV, he voted against the war in Iraq - an enourmous waste of taxpayer dollars. CBS - get with the program!! Sharyl Attkisson - do you want to follow the Follow the Money? Start reporting waste in Iraq for starters. Do you really want to Follow the Money?
