WASHINGTON — The House Intelligence
Committee will look into a possible leak of classified information about
secret CIA prisons but will not reopen its 2003 inquiry into prewar intelligence
on Iraq.

As calls for intelligence-related reviews grow on Capitol Hill, Representative
Peter Hoekstra, Republican of Michigan, said yesterday that his committee
will study several specific leaks of classified information, including
a Nov. 2 Washington Post story that discussed the existence of secret CIA
prisons overseas.

The story said the ”black sites" were in eight countries, including
democracies in Eastern Europe.

Hoekstra would not confirm the story’s accuracy or whether the prisons
exist.

Absolutely Orwellian! In the face of criminal and possibly
treasonous malfeasance and misdirection at the highest levels of government
which have led this great country to the brink of a historic disaster
and already cost thousands of American lives, the Republicans in the
House are only worried
about who leaked the fact that our government is maintaining secret torture
prisons around the world for the expressed intent of violating US law
and international treaties we have signed and pledged to honor.

Honor, wherefore art thou! We ache with longing to be
able to once again feel clean and proud and honored to call ourself
an American. It seems so long ago, so sad, so sad……
