Intelligence reform and political spin

So, ok, I am pounding away at this intelligence reform. It is just a bad bill. The Washington Times continues to look harder into the details of the bill; and defends Rep. Hunter in his efforts to think twice about what is a bad bill.

Rarely has a national security issue of major importance become a subject of distortion and spin like the debate over the intelligence reform bill on Capitol Hill — the outcome of which will determine how U.S. intelligence agencies and our military function for a generation to come. This is particularly true of the heated debate now taking place over how much power should be given to a new director of national intelligence.
Along with House Armed Services Committee Chairman Duncan Hunter, one of the most respected defense experts on Capitol Hill, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and other elements within the Defense Department have raised serious questions about the far-reaching authority granted to the intelligence director under the Senate version of the bill. Specifically, Mr. Hunter believes that the Senate bill would interfere with the military's access to intelligence on the battlefield.
