Under fire from conservative Christians who want his help in a drive to loosen restrictions on evangelizing by military chaplains, John Warner sought cover Tuesday night on the Senate floor.
"I am being besieged," Virginia's senior senator said. "I am sorrowful that people attack me personally as if I had no religious foundation."
Warner, a Republican, is among the prime targets of a telephone, letter-writing and e-mailing campaign by evangelicals who want Congress to ensure the right of military chaplains to pray in public "according to the dictates of their own conscience."
