#1 I am absolutely shocked that members of the Intelligence committee who attended a closed-door hearing then walked out that hearing early, by the way and characterized anything that happened in that hearing, said Intelligence Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations Chairwoman Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.). My understanding understanding is thats a violation of the rules. It may be more than that.

"Members on both sides need to watch what they say." "I wasn't at the whole hearing," Reyes said. "As the chairman my view is we need to get the facts about how the enhanced interrogation techniques came about, not just the results."

Hypocrites and masters of double-speak. How do you get all the facts when you don't attend the entire meeting, only to criticize others for walking out?

#2 The frame, of course, is not that the moral concession we made worked, but that Republicans broke the law and revealed classified data. As if the newspapers ever worried about revealing classified data!

#3 Sorry, providing confirmation that already legally released and unclassified 'sources and methods' led to the collection of actionable intelligence does not constitute a security violation.

#4 Just to put things in perspective, Sen. Rockefeller tipped off Syria prior to the onset of Operation Iraqi Freedom. And then there was Sen. Leahy. Nuance!

#6 scream long and hard, Dem Dipshits. It only serves to highlight your lying hypocrisy and treasonous behavior. Nothing these Reps said was a release of intel secrets, methods, or plans

#8 Yep, it's much more dangerous to our national security than that nuke info that the Obama Administration inadvertently posted on the internet.

/sarcasm off
