The bill is dead- last night it failed to pass. There is talk of it coming back in December- but it seems unlikely.
I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not...have to read and learn some more.
If it comes back? maybe the Republicans in congress can make new changes that Rumsfeld could be comfortable with. He must know that his plan of security provided would end up being incomplete and jeopardized if this bill passes. Lets face it the 9/11 Commission were good bureaucrats but not the best people in our intelligence. The CIA is falling apart and being rebuilt as we speak due to dysfunctional people that are now being tossed out.
