U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) (L) meets Louisiana Lt. Governor Mitchell J. Landrieu on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. November 1, 2005. Democrats forced the Senate into a rare closed session on Tuesday to protest what they decried as the Republican-led body's inattention to intelligence failures on Iraq and the leak of a CIA operative's identity. Invoking a little used rule, Democrats temporarily shut down television cameras in the chamber, cleared galleries of reporters, tourists and other onlookers, forced removal of staff members and recording devices and stopped work on legislation.
