  Senate panel head critical of Microsoft settlement
Time: 11:55 EST/16:55 GMT | News Source: Reuters | Posted By: Byron Hinson

Reuters PhotoThe chairman of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee expressed strong concerns on Wednesday about a proposed Microsoft settlement as his panel begins hearings on the landmark antitrust case against the software giant. Sen. Patrick Leahy, a Democrat from Vermont, said firstly he was worried that the terms of the pact reached last month with the U.S. Justice Department and nine of the states in the case were often vague and vulnerable to manipulation.

``Second, I am concerned that the enforcement mechanism described in the proposed decree, lacks the power and the timeliness necessary to inspire confidence in its effectiveness,'' Leahy said in a text of his opening remarks at a hearing on the settlement. Leahy urged U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly to seriously consider the alternative remedy offered last week by another nine states that have refused to sign the settlement.
