If the Democrats take the House...

The Washington Post had a mostly positive look at Nancy Pelosi as speaker. In it they mention that she is likely to support placing Alcee Hastings as the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.

<<< Misgivings exist in Democratic ranks as well. Several moderate-to-conservative Democrats in the House, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of fraying party unity, specifically mentioned two members: Conyers, who has already laid out what he says are grounds to impeach President Bush, and Alcee L. Hastings (Fla.), a senior Democrat on the intelligence committee, who was impeached and removed from his federal judgeship in 1989 for conspiring to take a $150,000 bribe and give light sentences to two convicted swindlers. >>>


That should tell you all that you need to know about Pelosi's approach to the war on terror. She is willing to give a man convicted by the Senate of taking bribes access to our nation's most sensitive secrets.

Could Hastings even pass an FBI background check to get the clearance he would need to view such documents if he weren't a member of Congress?
