This is absolutely unbelievable. Here is an amendment that Senator Frist offered today in the senate:
"Any federal officeholder who makes reference to a classified Federal Bureau of Investigation report on the floor of the United States Senate, or any federal officeholder that makes a statement based on a FBI agent's comments which is used as propaganda by terrorist organizations thereby putting our servicemen and women at risk, shall not be permitted access to such information or to hold a security clearance for access to such information."
So now the republicans want to make a federal officeholders security clearance hinge on what the terrorists do. Simply unbelievable. Now all a terrorist would have to do is find a statement within this amendment, use it as propaganda and poof an officeholder's security clearance would be gone.
Obviously this is targeted at Durbin, but it has to be the most ridiculous piece of legislation that I have seen...well...ever. Which means I'm sure Rob will think that this is greatest thing since sliced bread.
