DK...the zealouness with which you decry "Democratic" fakery was good for a morning laugh. I guess its too much to expect that the Repub stalwarts would at least wait unitl the new Congress convenves before going into attack mode.
SO, Congressional reform to improve intelligence oversight/funding is not on the Dems first 100 hour agenda. Its easy to understand why, as Rat noted, both intra-party as well as Repub partisan objections wont make this recommendation an easy one to enact.
What is not so amusing is the report card on the implementation of 9/11 Commission recommendations to-date (issued last December):
