Bad Cop, Bad Cop

A measure to enact the recommendations of the September 11 commission to overhaul U.S. intelligence agencies is stalled in Congress, thanks to the efforts of Wisconsin Rep. James Sensenbrenner and California Rep. Duncan Hunter. As with the Assault Weapons Ban that the Republicans allowed to expire earlier this year, the President and VP claim they have no control over the Republican leadership and would sign these measures if they reached the White House. Is anyone really fooled by this game? And, will anyone remember waterboys Sensenbrenner and Hunter and the complicit White House leadership after the next terrorist attack on US soil?
