But the real story is that the same senators who sit on this committee are the same senators who have had supposed oversight of the FBI & the Justice Dept. all along. These pretty boys (and handsome women) have had the opportunity to shape an effective dept. and bureau. Did they do it? No, that would make them responsible; it's far easier for them to sit on the sidelines and wai for an opportunity to prance and preen. Weeping Jesus on the cross, Specter's best work is the "magic bullet theory"!
The fact is that the FBI has been in trouble for a long time. It isn't anything that we just learned on September 11th. What has Congress done to try to aright that ship? Nothing!
Excuse me, if I think they've come a little late to the dance.
