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.
