The House Wants to Know
By Micah Halpern

Saturday December 15, 2007

I've Been Thinking:

On Thursday the US House passed a bill against water boarding.
What do they have against water boarding? That is a discussion for another time, the bill must still pass the Senate and be signed by the president.

This is the important part:
Attached to the bill was a clause.
70% of the intelligence budget will be withheld by Congress if the House and Senate intelligence committees are not briefed about the Israeli attack against the Syrian nuclear facility on September 6, 2007.

What does one have to do with the other? Nothing.
This is classic "pork-barrel politics." Legislators sign onto a bill they do not agree with in order to get something they really want.

Congress really wants to know what happened. Congress wants to know how Israel and the United States gathered their intelligence.

Read my new book THUGS. It's easy. Just click.
