 | Former Rep. Lee Hamilton, D-Ind.,
declined to disclose any specifics about the Iraq Study Group's decisions. The
report, much anticipated by the Bush administration and members of Congress, is
coming out next Wednesday amid the spiraling violence in Iraq that has raised
questions about the viability of the Iraqi government and US policy for a deeply
unpopular war.
"This afternoon, we reached a consensus ... and we will announce that on
December 6," Hamilton told a forum on national security at the Center for
American Progress, a liberal group.
