In spite of this hit piece and the sentiment here for Harmon I am not that concerned about this choice since I do not share the regard for Harmon expressed by others. She has never impressed me as being any but another well-tanned Democrat more concerned with being slick than anything else.
Reyes is not your typical Congressman lawyer and has served in Vietnam so his coming form a lower class background is not all bad. His district is not made up of those who think like the Elites.
If President Bush and some of his closest associates, not to mention top counterterrorism officials, have demonstrated their own ignorance about who the players are in the Middle East, why should we expect the leaders of the House Intelligence Committee to get it right?
While this article seems to make a good point about the new Dem to be in charge and his lack of knowledge, I will not accept another anonymous source that purports proof that Bush's war planners (Rummy, Franks etc.) had no knowledge or made no consideration for the possible strife between the vaious Islamic factions. How those reactions played out is another story but to claim a pure ignorance about this is simply unproved by the anonymous sourcing this writer utilizes.
It's Jane HarMAN. I live in her district; she would have been the far better choice. She is not slick, but knowledgeable. Her sin has been that Democrat colleagues have seen her as too "pro-Bush" or not enough "anti-Bush" for their liking.
It's called D.C. politics, so we get this dangerous dummy Reyes instead.

Kill them all. Let God sort them out.

You're blaming the Saudis for this? They do "diplomacy" all of the time, but if they've tried to confuse me as to Al Queda being Sunni, they've done a particularly poor job.
