Diane Fienstein has a pair...wow!

[LeftNYC]

She sent this to Pat Roberts:

I am increasingly dismayed by the delay in completing the Committee's "Phase II" investigation into intelligence prior to the Iraq War. As you know, the Committee voted unanimously on February 12, 2004 to investigate five questions on pre-war intelligence, including use of intelligence by policymakers. Nearly eighteen months later, much work remains before these questions will be satisfactorily answered.

In addition to the terms set out early last year, the Committee should address the significant issues raised by the so-called "Downing Street Memo" - whether the "intelligence and facts were being fixed" to support the policy of using military force against Iraq. This claim raises serious questions about the use of intelligence, and whether intelligence resources were unduly focused away from other priorities in order to provide additional -- and as we have found, flawed -- intelligence on Iraq.

It would also be my preference to include in Phase II any new revelations concerning the CURVEBALL case since the Committee's first Iraq report.

It is important that the Committee complete its study of these questions, both to fulfill our oversight responsibilities and because there is no other body capable of doing this work. The Committee's report assessing the intelligence on Iraq's WMD capabilities was of outstanding quality and demonstrated both our ability to inform the American public and uncover needs for intelligence reform. I urge you to take whatever steps are needed to complete the Phase II investigation and produce a report as comprehensive and thoughtful as the first phase of the Committee's investigation. I stand ready to participate in this investigation in any way possible.

[LeftNYC]

2. i was trying to be nice...

balls...

[noamnety]

5. Why not just say she has guts or courage?

not balls. She has none, and she has well demonstrated that they aren't a requirement.

[LeftNYC]

9. sorry...Diane Feinstein has guts and courage...

[marions ghost]

[Bunny]

12. Be nice for whom?

[LeftNYC]

13. Either way...Diane Feinstein should be applauded...

yeah DiFi

[Bunny]

16. Yep - she should be applauded.

[JDPriestly]

3. Good for Diane

She must be very angry at the misinformation she was fed by the Bush administration. She lost a lot of popularity and the trust of a lot of voters because of her reliance on the Bush garbage. Thank you Diane.

[AntiCoup2K4]

4. But on the other hand, her war profiteer husband's doing well.

Hey, it's a win win for the PNAC'ers.

[Sanity Claws]

7. Curveball case?

Huh? What's that?
I hate to sound ignorant but I have no idea of what she is talking about.

[wli]

8. Chalabi's fake Iraqi weapons program IIRC

11. This like a Wall-Mart lamp shade talking to a J.C. Penny mannequin

[Goldeneye]

14. I'm glad to see she's pushing for this, especially since

she's on the Intelligence committee, but why didn't she sign Kerry's letter like a month ago?

[pacalo]

17. Damn, I love that picture in your signature.

Looking at the great leadership assembled together, it makes me feel like a kid admiring expensive, beyond-budget toys displayed in a department store window.

[Goldeneye]

21. It's a good picture.

I can't find any others with soooo many good dems in it. It's kind of sad...any of them (including joementum over behind Gore)would've been better than *.

[SoCalifer]

15. Bah!

Sorry, but Diane Fienstein is nothing but a back-stabbing corporate Democrat. She's no different than any other elitist.

I still have a few knives in my back that were planted there from her. She Taft Hartley-ed me and NAFTA & CAFTA-ed all of us.

She also doesn't think that any of us should be allowed to own and carry a gun -but- she herself does. That shows her to also have an elitist attitude, that we're all just ordinary people and she's above us.


Sorry, but I don't support people of her sort.

[Stinky The Clown]

18. Feh .... better than nothng .... but not much

She's one of the Dems who give the Repubs what they need ..... 'bipartisan' cover. Somehow I think she cleared this with Pat Roberts before writing it.

DiFi ..... like several others ..... is one of those Dems we vote for while holding our noses.

[JNelson6563]

19. It's cool when she plays the Dem

She totally sucks when she does her Rethug bit, which is all too frequently IMO.

Julie

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. She is realizing she is loosing her base

That is my take on this

[Orion The Hunter]

22. RE: She should be worried

After supporting measures like CAFTA and other Republican pieces of legislation, her constituents have to wonder which party they really voted for...
