DiFi says she wants an “intelligence professional” to head the CIA, even though she repeatedly blew off the intelligence professionals who warned her against backing Bush’s obscenity in Iraq.

From MoJo blog, there’s this (courtesy of Digby):

And there’s this: in 1990, then-Representative Barbara Boxer (D-CA) introduced legislation that would have required the president to seek approval from the congressional intelligence committees before mounting most covert operations. (Under this legislation, the president could still stage secret ops to save American lives or rescue American hostages without asking permission from the committees.) The measure failed miserably. Only 70 members voted for it, but one was Panetta. Will that vote come up during his confirmation hearings? One wonders if Panetta still supports the idea of greater congressional oversight of CIA clandestine activities.

Because she, like Pelosi, is probably complicit. Don’t forget, Difi’s hubby is a war profiteer.

DiFi had a chance to break with Jello Jay and she didn’t take it.

I wonder why?
