(2004-07-22) -- The final 9/11 commission report recommends formation of a Congressional panel to oversee classified information leaks about U.S. intelligence capabilities, according to unnamed members of Congress who received top-secret briefings on the report yesterday.
The new bipartisan, bicameral Congressional committee would leak classified intelligence information to journalists and also hold news conferences to chastise members of Congress who leak classified information.
"Congressional oversight of the U.S. intelligence community has failed due to the haphazard way members of Congress reveal America's weaknesses to our enemies," said one anonymous senator. "We desperately need a more coordinated and centralized system for disclosing privileged information to our friends in the news media and their audiences around the globe. Only Congress can be trusted with protecting the homeland that it has failed to protect."
