All I've found is that the current committee, which obviously has slightly different membership than the one back then, approved the bill by a vote of 10-4, with three Democrats voting in favor of it.
If it turns out that the Intelligence Committee members voted against the use of force, I would be inclined to change my mind about my original post.

Politico, that is a great link and all I can give you at the moment is a guess on my part. The president's request for authority was revisited and the admin produced more, but still slanted, data, after the intelligence committee balked. You do realize that the intelligence committee could not share what intelligence they knew with their fellow senate colleagues?
My net research skills are pathetic. Is there anyone else here that can chase this pup, or at least determine whether intelligence committee votes/opinions are public record?
