Must-read column, by Senate Select Intel committee vice chair Jay Rockefeller, here:
"Faced with Republicans' continuing refusal to conduct a complete investigation into these matters," Rockefeller writes, "my staff recently drafted an options memo on the use or potential misuse of intelligence. The memo, intended only for me, was pilfered from the usually secure Senate intelligence committee and distributed to the media. It has become a convenient excuse for Republicans to shut down the committee and curtail the investigation."
This pattern of the Republicans stealing memos from Democratic staffers' computers is becoming an epidemic!
"Apparent Theft of Democratic Memos Probed," reads another Washington Post headline today. "Congressional authorities began looking into what Democrats yesterday called an apparent computer theft of staff memos critical of President Bush's embattled judicial nominees."
