Senate Ethics Committee Reprimands Larry Craig
The Senate Ethics Committee today issued a public letter of reprimand to Idaho Sen. Larry Craig.
In a letter signed by all six members of the Senate Select Committee on Ethics, the members affirmed the initial guilty plea that Craig signed after an undercover officer in the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport arrested him in a men's room sting.
