BTW, wasn't Imhofe chairman of the Intelligence committee?
Indeed he was, as per his 1999 statement on the Senate floor. That name's spelled *Inhofe*, BTW.
And just as Senator Birch Bayh was also once the Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, when they were considering the Justice Department's *DeFeo Report* on DEA consideration of assassinations of foreign heads of state involved in narcotics trafficking, including Panamanian dictator Omar Torrijos, who died in a plane crash. But not until after the ink on the Panama Canal giveaway treaty was dry, and Bush I CIA agent Manuel Noriega was in position to take over as planned. Of course, the Army Intelligence investigation into wiretaps of phone conversations between Noriega and his pet US Congressmen remained classified as OPERATION CANTON SONG. But that was the least of Bayh's 1978 problems.
