| The Hayden half-grilling |
The Democrats on the intelligence committee try to grill General Michael Hayden during the long-awaited CIA nomination hearings (who declines to answer most questions about his domestic spying notions in the open session), while the Republicans simply declare Hayden "magnificent..."
Hayden did manage to get out one piece of interesting info: that even he (of the questionable understanding of the probable cause standard in the Fourth Amendment) was troubled by Doug Feith and his band of Pentagon neocons' use of intelligence to conflate Iraq and al-Qaida.
And from our friends at Democrats.com, we have a new entry for Webster's New World Order Dictionary: Specterism:
n. A threat to stand up to Bush that is never meant to be acted upon and withdrawn at the very first opportunity.
In other words, don't hold your breath waiting for Specter or any other Republican Senator to delve more deeply into the multiple instances of domestic spying taking place under the Bush regime.
