Republican Sen. Mel Martinez has admitted that this controversial memo was written by his own aide. Apparently, he then passed it on to Democrat
Sen. Tom Harkin by mistake without reading it himself.

"Martinez, in his statement, said Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, had asked for background information on the bill ordering a federal court to review the
Schiavo case.
He said he pulled a one-page document from his coat pocket and handed to Harkin. "Unbeknownst to me ... I had given him a copy of the now infamous
memo."
He said Harkin had called him earlier Wednesday to say he believes the memo had been given to him by Martinez. The Florida senator said he then
ordered an internal investigation in his office. "

Seems like it was an honest mistake by Sen. Martinez, I mean, I doubt if he would have knowingly given the memo to a democrat, would he.
Sen. Martinez seems to be a topic of it's own, and well, I'd like to post this link for your review as a side issue.....
