Boehner flip flops on Intelligence Community
AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth — Then again, intelligence was never Boehner's strong suit. From Media Matters: Today, May 14, 2009, Rep. John Boehner criticized Speaker Pelosi's press conference by saying, "it's hard for me to imagine that our intelligence area would ever mislead a member of Congress." Yet in 2007, Rep. Boehner criticized our nation's intelligence community by saying, "either I don't have confidence in what they told me several months ago or I don't have confidence in what they're telling me today." Once again, rather than finding the truth, Rep. Boehner is playing politics. ...

Tanning Boehner Over Intelligence
democracyarsenal.org — Seems like John Boehner's confidence in information from the intelligence community changes far more frequently then the orange pigmentation of his skin. Boehner today: "It's hard for me to imagine that our intelligence area would ever mislead a member of Congress." Yeah, I guess all that pre-war intelligence falsely ...

Media Shocked - Shocked! - That Pelosi Criticizes The CIA
The Huffington Post | Full News Feed — There's much to consider where Nancy Pelosi and past intelligence briefings on interrogation, detention, and torture. Especially after today! Plenty of observers, myself included, have found her attempt to navigate her way through a timeline of events to be wanting where satisfaction or clarity is concerned. I'd further suggest that if her central contention is going to be that she was legally barred from disclosing the contents of those briefings, that should provoke a whole new set of convserations: if a law prohibits a person from disclosing wrongdoing -- and violations of the Geneva Convention certainly fall into that category -- then that law is an ...

Ed Schultz Defends Obama Against Entire Cast Of Morning Joe (VIDEO)
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com — Media Monitor Brian Cohoon sends us this clip of MSNBC's Ed Schultz appearing on Morning Joe and running a four on one gauntlet over the transfer of detainees from GITMO. A basic recap: Joe Scarborough doesn't want Khalid Sheikh Mohammed moved to Pensacola, Florida, because it would make the city a "terrorist target," I guess the argument being that whatever cities are currently on al Qaeda's to-attack list should bear the weight for the rest of the country and Floridians in general, who I guess aren't made of particularly stern stuff. At least Joe understands that we are very good at locking people up in jails. Ed Schultz points ...
