Inquiring minds want to know, and the souls of the dead
from 911 and the USS COLE want to know:
Who will benefit from these "new" powers?

The American public ..... or terrorists.

National Security by committee, like the old Soviet Politburo.

Bookmark for later.
It looks like dissent is out of style again after the last eight years.
Spying domestically, however, is in. It isn't a violation of anyone’s rights when the Democratic Party does it.

It’s another step towards the US becoming a fascist, totalitarian state.

The new structure, to be outlined in a presidential directive and a detailed implementation document by Jones, will expand the NSC's reach far beyond the range of traditional foreign policy issues and turn it into a much more elastic body, with Cabinet and departmental seats at the table -- historically occupied only by the secretaries of defense and state -- determined on an issue-by-issue basis. Jones said the directive will probably be completed this week...New NSC directorates will deal with such department-spanning 21st-century issues as cybersecurity, energy, climate change, nation-building and infrastructure. Many of the functions of the Homeland Security Council, established as a separate White House entity by President Bush after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, may be subsumed into the expanded NSC...

Wow. Barry's simply making an end-run around our established Constitutional government. First his "czars" that essentially outrank Cabinet members and report to him directly, and now this.

Climate change? You've gotta be kidding.

Karen DeYoung is the worst of the twisted Washpost staff.

This article tells nothing (Jones wouldn’t be fool enough to tell her anything)...

it’s just a transparent vehicle to lie about the Bush administration

Where are all the Moonbats decrying this concentration of power into the grasping hands of the Washington security establishment?

Do they no longer fear their calls from overseas might be monitored or their library habits checked?
