Does anybody remember that on/about 9/12/2001, President Bush announced that Congress would no longer be given access to classified Intelligence?

Caused a major flap at the time, and he had to back away from it, of course -- sadly...

We've come a long way, baby....

[sure_fine]

guess WE will be reading it in NYT today

[Son House]

Good, now they'll understand
why they must cut all non-essential spending
except for winning the war.

[gakrak]

Amen. So much for "INTELLEGENCE", what were they thinking? Amen.

*ping*

[BlessedBeGod]

Freaking fools!

. The report is classified in part because it contains information about sources and methods used in intelligence-gathering."

God help our troops, this will be in the NYT's within 24 hours after it are released.

[ballplayer]

What about the Muslim sympathisers who will see it and pass the sources and methods to our enemies

[mware]

Is that wrong?

Only if you happen to be in country and involved in intelligence gathering methods.

[freema]

PING

[flynmudd]

The names of the idiots that voted to release this information? Dems I'm sure.

The report is classified in part because it contains information about sources and methods used in intelligence-gathering.

Let the leaking begin!

"God help our troops..."

I pray for them everyday.

First, all members of Congress should be given reports gathered by the Clinton Administration. They were the ones who first claimed they had evidence to justify invading Iraq and topple Saddam. The evidence was to profound that all the senior Democrat leaders who viewed the reports(Schumer, Kennedy, Biden, Reid, Boxer, Daschel, Kerry, Pelosi, etc.) are on record in supporting an invasion, if Clinton was inclined to do so.

[the report] was approved Jan. 29 by the heads of the government's 16 intelligence agencies

That doesn't sound very useful. Reminds me of the secret negotiations over what "science" to put in the latest global warming report.

[JohnLongIsland]

what do you expect from the libs? if you could aid and abet your ally (osama) in time of war, it is your duty and allegiance to do so.

[mware]

the House Intelligence Committee voted unanimously

All of them dem's and rep's voted to release it.

[Mo1]

Dear Lord ... Congress is going to get us all killed

[YOUGOTIT]

The al Qaeda supporters in the House will be in 72 heaven and give the information to their colleagues as soon as possible. Looks as though al Qaeda really won the election.

[Thrownatbirth]

The report runs about 90 pages

That's small enough to stick into anybody's pants.
