more gag orders?

from a lead article in tomorrow's new york times regarding the c.i.a. having 'deceived' democrats for 8 years:

"In a related development, President Obama threatened to veto the pending Intelligence Authorization Bill if it included a provision that would allow information about covert actions to be given to the entire House and Senate Intelligence Committees, rather than the so-called Gang of Eight — the Democratic and Republican leaders of both houses of Congress and the two Intelligence Committees."

if you have more than an hour a day, you can get a main gist of these 'covert' activities. as the late great claud cockburn said, 'Since becoming a journalist I had often heard the advice to "believe nothing until it has been officially denied"'

to all the die hard democrats: autopilot isn't working. your 'leaders' are spineless warmongers. the time is past urgent for a complete reappraisal of our imperial aims. covert and overt.
