    Another one who wants to move forward

    Jim Webb on the subject of truth commissions this morning:

    STEPHANOPOULOS: That’s the irony here , Senator Webb, as Speaker Gingrich says, investigate. He wants a separate House investigation. Speaker Pelosi says, fine, let’s have a truth commission, the one that Senator Kyl doesn’t want. Where do you stand on this?

    WEBB: I just don’t think it’s that big a deal. [...]

    STEPHANOPOULOS: So, no truth commission?

    WEBB: I think this will resolve itself without something like that.
