Did They Read The Damn Thing This Time?

Here we go again. Yahoo! News - House Approves U.S. Intelligence Overhaul

Our wonderful elected Congress is giving the okay to this so-called "Intelligence Overhaul" bill. I took a look at parts of it yesterday and, of course, it was so complex and confusing that I would need a week to get a handle on it. I just hope our elected representatives did their jobs and READ the thing BEFORE they approved it...especially those wishy-washy Democrats (yes, that means YOU, Senator Kerry).

75 Congressmen voted no. Check out this comment: "I believe creating a national intelligence director is a huge mistake," said Rep. Ray LaHood (R-Ill). "It's another bureaucracy, it's another layer of government. It would not have prevented 9/11 and it will not prevent another 9/11." Spoken like a true Republican, not a neo-conservative imperialist.

More later...
Paul
