The normally placid Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) has announced Democrats will hold their own hearings into intelligence questions surrounding Iraq.

Levin said he has directed Democratic staff to examine the objectivity and credibility of the intelligence and its effect on Defense Department policy decisions, military planning and operations in Iraq.
