WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Bush administration has yet to name a new national intelligence director, and the Senate intelligence committee's top Democrat says he wants an explanation.

The position, created in last year's intelligence reorganization bill, has been open for more than eight weeks.

The committee's annual public hearing Wednesday on global threats -- a rare open session for the secretive panel -- was expected to draw a panoply of top officials to face tough questions on a range of issues, including the vacant intelligence position, Iraq, Iran and North Korea.

The lineup invited to participate included CIA Director Porter Goss, FBI Director Robert Mueller, Defense Intelligence Agency director Vice Adm. Lowell Jacoby, the State Department's top intelligence official, Thomas Fingar, and acting Homeland Security Secretary Adm. James Loy.

1947's National Security Act, and it's tending to be fascist now.
