The latest kerfuffle regarding the CIA and congressional notification appears to be the mother of all fluff. According to press reports, the CIA allegedly failed to notify Congress of a program to kill Al Qaeda leaders that it thought about but never tried to implement. Big whoop.
Andrew McCarthy and Jonah Goldberg have already posted excellent articles about this: see respectively Another Phony Scandal and The Mother of All Nothingburgers.
Dick Cheney doesn't need anyone to come to his defense (certainly not me). And if he did, his daughter, Liz, seems more than equal to the task. But it would be nice if the Republicans responded to this cynical political ploy by calling it what it is: an attempt to provide political cover for Nancy Pelosi, who has accused the CIA of lying to her ("they do it all the time") with no supporting evidence.
