The Nattering Nabob

You know how the Bushies have been claiming that Congress saw the same intelligence as the White House? Senator Feinstein asked an independent commission to determine whether or not that was true.

It wasn't. And that's official.

"In addition to their greater access to intelligence, the President and his senior advisors also are better equipped than is Congress to assess intelligence information by virtue of the primacy of their roles in formulating U.S. foreign policy."

"The President is able to control dissemination of intelligence information to Congress because the Intelligence Community is part of the executive branch."

But DO read the whole thing.
