A top Democrat said Thursday he was "troubled" by the timing of the news that National Intelligence Director John Negroponte will assume the number two post at the State Department.
Sen. John Rockefeller (D-W.Va.), vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said it was unacceptable for top two posts in the intelligence community to be vacant at the same time. He cited the departure last May of Gen. Michael Hayden, Negroponte's then deputy, who left to head up the CIA.

Anything that 'troubles' Rockefeller. . . is a good thing.

Isn't Rockefeller the Syrian spy in Congress
who routinely gives them classified materials
which they can't get from Sandy-the-Burglar?

Is anyone else troubled by Rockefeller being in charge of intelligence? Don't you need some to be in charge of it?

Jay must be troubled that he will lose access to some of his sources of intelligence leaks, like maybe if Negroponte cleans up some viper's nests at State

Not only is he troubled, I've heard he's also, "deeply saddened."

Maybe we should put in a woman. You know, to show we are diverse.

Jay Jay seems a bit more "touched" than "troubled."

Is anyone else troubled by Rockefeller being in charge of intelligence? It troubles me that Rockefeller is in Congress.....at all.

Rockerfeller is just mad because it takes Negroponte out of the loop on their proposed hearings on intelligence.

Bingo! I detest Rockefeller with a passion because I believe he and his staff are the leakers.
Makes me mad all over again at anyone that stayed home in the last election to teach us a lesson

Great stuff. Remind me to purchase a Senate seat in West Virginia so I can spout inanity all day and have it dutifully reported by the media.

I think President Bush is now realizing that we are at war with more than just terrorist but traitors within our own government. Just because the Rats won doesn't mean they're off the hook with regards to treasonous leaks.

You are correct IMO and think the leaks may get worse as they get more access to info they request.

Well, Jay Rockefeller, the problem is, you can't force the guy to keep the job. You could punish him for resigning by keeping him from getting his OTHER job, but you can't make people serve.
