Pelosi's test on national security

As California Democrat Nancy Pelosi prepares to become the next U.S. House speaker, some of her more difficult decisions will be on who receives coveted committee chairmanships. The senior ranking member on the committee usually is elevated to chairman, but that isn't a hard and fast rule, and there are times when there is a better choice.
But on the House Intelligence Committee, bypassing the ranking Democrat would be a mistake. Rep. Jane Harman of California already has proven herself an informed, credible voice for Democrats on national security. The electorate is giving Democrats a chance, but there is still wobbly support for the party on questions of terrorism and national defense. Harman's depth of knowledge and moderate views would serve both the party and the nation well.
