Your quote does not address matters of military intelligence.

Article I, Section 8 deals with military intelligence. It goves Congress full authority to make whatever policies or laws it deems necessary.

Does anyone at FreeRepublic ever read the friggin constitution?

Har. Har. Har. I remember you - yesterday you were saying I needed to go back to school regarding grammatical matters and then promptly made a grammatical error and a misspelling. Now you are telling all us dumb freepers that we don't know the Constitution - yet who does the head of the FBI report to? Not the Secretary of Defense, but the Attorney General. Who does the head of the CIA report to? The head of the NSA? Hint - it ain't the Secretary of Defense. Those agencies are not part of Defense and are therefore not affected by Article I, Section 8 - so I see your understanding of the Constitution is as good as your grammar and spelling.

Above and beyond that, try reading the article:

Crawford, Texas, Dec. 28 (Bloomberg) -- President George W. Bush said he'll use presidential authority to sidestep a rule requiring his administration to provide Congress with written notice of U.S. intelligence activities.

I do not see the qualifier "Military" anywhere here - this pertains to ALL intelligence agencies, not just military intel. So you are not even arguing the right subject here, not that it's a surprise.

Why the heck should I, when every little jerk-water comes around every five minutes to re-interpret what I just read for me?
