More on the Intelligence Committee memo
In an editorial, Senator Rockefeller makes this comment:
...Faced with Republicans' continuing refusal to conduct a complete investigation into these matters, my staff recently drafted an options memo on the use or potential misuse of intelligence. The memo, intended only for me, was pilfered from the usually secure Senate intelligence committee and distributed to the media. It has become a convenient excuse for Republicans to shut down the committee and curtail the investigation.
The text of the memo can be found here. Read it.
"...intended only for me." Right. If you think Rockefeller had this written up by a staffer just so he could read it to himself, I've got a bridge to sell you. And if nothing else, it says what Rockefeller is thinking. Is this someone who should be on the Intelligence Committee?
Rockefeller is in a corner, and only the Get Out Of Deep Guano Free card issued by the media to all Democrats will save him.
