Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif.,... derided the Pentagon's description of the current fighting in Iraq as "low-intensity conflict." "I want you to know when your kid dies, it's not a low-intensity conflict," she said. Sen. Russell Feingold, D-Wis., attacked Wolfowitz over his statement that "the battle to secure the peace in Iraq is now the central battle of the global war on terror. "This administration has grossly exaggerated the connection between the war on terrorism and the Iraq situation," Feingold said. He said that on the same day that U.S. troops moved into Baghdad in April, men suspected of being responsible for the attack on the U.S. destroyer Cole in 2000 were escaping from a prison in Yemen.
