Well, Whaddaya Know? Congress DOESN'T See the Same Intel as the President

So says this article today, confirming what we already knew: the country is in the hands of pathological liars who will do anything to protect their miserable lying asses. Key sections:

The Congressional Research Service, by contrast, said: "The president, and a small number of presidentially designated Cabinet-level officials, including the vice president ... have access to a far greater overall volume of intelligence and to more sensitive intelligence information, including information regarding intelligence sources and methods."

Unlike members of Congress, the president and his top officials also have the authority to ask U.S. intelligence agencies more extensively for follow-up information, the report said. "As a result, the president and his most senior advisers arguably are better positioned to assess the quality of the ... intelligence more accurately than is Congress."

How many times do we have to call bullshit on these people?
