So Sanchez likely didn't go to the previous intelligence briefings and she learned something. randome Jun 2013 #2

The two intelligence subcommittes are kept fully informed. randome Jun 2013 #23

You cant have it both ways. You cant mock Congress with a statement like: rhett o rick Jun 2013 #28

The worst thing is this. Fuddnik Jun 2013 #36

You bring up a great point. We have no idea how much or how little influence the rhett o rick Jun 2013 #42

Congress as represented by the two intelligence subcommittees. randome Jun 2013 #38

I believe they are very limited as to what they can tell Congress. Secrecy and all that, you know. n rhett o rick Jun 2013 #44

You may be right. I'm not sure if there is a better solution. randome Jun 2013 #54

Damn, you got me in a corner. I dont have a better idea. This is going to get very sticky with rhett o rick Jun 2013 #59

Yup, and at that point we're screwed Hydra Jun 2013 #99

"Fully informed"....... LOL bvar22 Jun 2013 #43

That was a public, televised hearing. randome Jun 2013 #52

He lied. AnotherMcIntosh Jun 2013 #68

He LIED to a Senator and to America. bvar22 Jun 2013 #81

Lies are to cover up something more serious than lying. HooptieWagon Jun 2013 #96

If you don't have the first clue about WHAT they are "covering up", bvar22 Jun 2013 #113

Your examples are exactly why I think the lies are an attempt to cover up something bigger. HooptieWagon Jun 2013 #114

Oops! My bad. bvar22 Jun 2013 #162

hey mr or mrs body language, me again Monkie Jun 2013 #101

Nope, didn't lie AceWheeler Jun 2013 #157

Nope! He outright LIED, bvar22 Jun 2013 #163

HUGE K & R !!! - Thank You !!! WillyT Jun 2013 #6

Very courageous with the truth Catherina Jun 2013 #7

Such a tease. OilemFirchen Jun 2013 #77

They loved him when he was going after Bush. And that's why they hate him now, he points out the sabrina 1 Jun 2013 #11

I definitely didn't love Greenwald when he said in his book he agreed with going to war in Iraq stevenleser Jun 2013 #21

That makes no sense. That 2006 book was about the Bush admin and it included scathing criticism. Luminous Animal Jun 2013 #34

I think so, yes. He's overcompensating for initially missing it on Iraq. stevenleser Jun 2013 #39

So, 3 books and millions of words against the Bush Admin are because he is overcompensating. Luminous Animal Jun 2013 #73

Oh snap! Vinnie From Indy Jun 2013 #105

Why, thank you! Luminous Animal Jun 2013 #106

Even though I know you timdog44 Jun 2013 #145

That was a really lovely post, timdog. I made an OP about this and I'll reproduce it below. Luminous Animal Jun 2013 #158

Thank you for that. timdog44 Jun 2013 #159

He supported a narrower ruling. Luminous Animal Jun 2013 #160

I can follow the logic he employs. timdog44 Jun 2013 #161

I didn't like him when he agreed with the CITIZENS UNITED ruling. MADem Jun 2013 #80

And another reason timdog44 Jun 2013 #88

He's always sucked because he's always been willing to lie for a story. MjolnirTime Jun 2013 #26

Sorry he isn't your BFF anymore HangOnKids Jun 2013 #49

Never caught him in a lie and I've been reading him since he started. He has made mistakes sabrina 1 Jun 2013 #53

Do you have some backing, or does this get filed under "Internet Man Makes Baseless Claim"? DisgustipatedinCA Jun 2013 #74

Where does it say that this information is collected in the US without a warrant? pnwmom Jun 2013 #103

You might want to do more research nadinbrzezinski Jun 2013 #111

The Verizon matter is NOT the same as PRISM. You keep mixing them up. pnwmom Jun 2013 #120

And that makes it better... nadinbrzezinski Jun 2013 #121

If you're not confused, then you are just wrong. pnwmom Jun 2013 #122
