I haven't paid much attention to the news over the last 48 hours or so, but IF what the people trying to block the bill are charging is correct, and the new "Intelligence Czar" really would interfere with battelfield intelligence - then I'm on the side of some folks I don't usually side with.
Quite frankly, I only want as much cozying up between military intelligence, foreign intellience, and domistic intelligence as is absolutely necessary.
Frist's statement, however, reminds me of one I've seen attributed to Ghandi (as well as others) - "Excuse me, I'm the leader - I must catch up with my people."

Yeah, I don't like many of the commission's reccomendations... Think they are a lot of crap for the most part...
But my reason for posting it was because it is Bush having trouble with his own party... No democarts to blame or anything and this is a piece of legislation that Bush has said he wants passed...
So, it might just be a blip or it might indicate that Bush might not have entirely smooth sailing ahead just because the reps won't have to hardly talk to the dems anymore once all the new seats change over....
The House can still be awful independent when they want to be....
