Former U.S. Senate Intelligence Chairwomen: Terrorist Sleeper Cells Are In The U.S.



Washington Times: Dianne Feinstein: Terrorist sleeper cells are in the U.S.

Update: Former Intel chairwoman: Major attack on US 'in the realm of possibility' (The Hill)

WNU Editor: The problem with Sen. Feinstein's remarks is that by attacking the CIA as she did just before Christmas, when she published the "torture report," all she did was intimidate spy/intelligence agencies from doing their jobs. She calls for the need for intelligence .... but how she wants this intelligence obtained .... which she does not specify (no surprise there .... but we do know how she does not want it obtained) .... makes her remarks that she is "concerned and worried" difficult to accept. I guess she is like most politicians .... easy to condemn and complain when something is not right and/or goes wrong and/or does not conform to his/her view of the world .... but when a situation arises where hard-core decisions need to be made .... a lot of mumbling and calls for a "need to do something". This is not leadership .... this is (fill in the blank).

U.S. Senator Feinstein Under Fire For Leaking Of Intelligence Secrets

From Newsweek:

House Republicans want an investigation of the Democratic senator's remarks about a secret U.S. military facility inside Pakistan.

In a swipe at their chief Democratic counterpart in the Senate, Republican members of the House Intelligence Committee have asked the Obama administration to conduct an inquiry into recent comments by Sen. Dianne Feinstein that appeared to confirm the existence of a secret U.S. facility inside Pakistan used to stage missile strikes against Al Qaeda targets.

My Comment: When Valerie Plame was outed, we had numerous investigations and countless news reports. In this case .... which is many magnitudes greater than outing a CIA desk clerk .... we have little if any discussion.

Sigh .... bias in the media .... you could have fooled me.
