Treason by any other name...

I thought obstructing the business of national security was treason.

The serious matter of the state of our intelligence, and thus our national security, is being weighed (ultimately by both parties) into campaign strategy.

President Bush has agreed to support an independent inquiry into the prewar intelligence that he used to assert that Saddam Hussein was stockpiling weapons of mass destruction, Republican and congressional sources said Saturday.

The shift by the White House, which previously had maintained that any such inquiry should wait until a more exhaustive weapons search has been completed, came after pressure from lawmakers in both parties and from the former chief U.S. weapons inspector in Iraq.

...The White House long objected to an independent inquiry into the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, ultimately relenting under congressional and public pressure.

Bush insisted on tight control over the intelligence material to be viewed by the commission, causing a constant struggle with the panel and leading to a dispute last week over whether commission members would have access to their own notes.

Like you thought they had some integrity or something? Like you thought that maybe when it came to our national security these people would all work toward the same goal - which would be national security?

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
