If all 435 House members are to be allowed access to Intelligence reports everytime they have a hissy fit, what use is there of having an Intelligence Committee?

It's like comedy show skit....like "saturday night live" or "Colbert report".

435 clones of Homer Simpson consider the evidence

It would strongly appear that at this point in time our congress has reached a point where rules no longer apply to issues concerning national security. The long time honored, respected, idea of not allowing all to view classified materials but only selected commitees that then help guide issues, has now been cast out the door and replaced by a free for all attitude.
Idiots. It is like two parents agreeing the kids should have the keys to the gun closet, and then hoping the kids will use good judgement.
