The Death of the Intelligence Panel
The New York Times: The Senate panel has become so paralyzingly partisan that it could not even manage to do its basic job this week and look into President Bush's warrantless spying on Americans'. In the 1970's the debate over the abuse of presidential power produced the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. They endured for a quarter of a century - until George W. Bush and Dick Cheney left FISA in tatters and the Senate Select Committee on its deathbed in just five years.
