Senator Whitewash and Friends

I posted yesterday on the Senate Intel committee's complete cave-in to White House (Rove) pressure on investigating the details and legality of NSA spying. Two quick updates.

First, the House Intel Committee caved, too. Blame Peter Hoekstra (R - Mich.) as the cover man.

Second, the NYTimes goes after Senator Whitewash in a board editorial titled "Doing the President's Dirty Work."

Is there any aspect of President Bush's miserable record on intelligence that Senator Pat Roberts, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is not willing to excuse and help to cover up?
