Which is it General? Either you were lying then or your're lying now. Not a good place to be. I was going wobbly on Rumsfeld on this until the facts started coming in. Now it's just political posturing and it's dangerous. If the officer corp starts selecting the Sec Def or having even a modicum of control over who fills that post we are in a heap of trouble. We have civilian mastery of the military for very good reason and we abandon or diminish it at our peril.
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.
