While it does appear that the choice (among the members of the intell committees) regarding how many would be briefed has the possibility of being reduced, given the nature of the beast it is unlikely. I hope that I'm wrong! I don't see it as probable though.
Those, like locks, rarely do more than to keep the honest people honest.
I agree wholeheartedly. As JTF mentioned, our Congress is the most powerful branch of our government. The inherent fractiousness within that body tends to prevent its ability to fully exercise that power. The current D:R ratio, however, may push the fulcrum a bit further to their advantage. Again, I hope I'm wrong. I just don't trust committees as a rule...they tend to have rather short success lists of well-designed horses...
