Nancy and Harry have all the clout of Ozzie and Harriet inside the Beltway, from what I can tell.

<<<Where is the Congressional oversight?>>> I would give Congress a little more benefit of the doubt. You don't want Congress to automatically obstruct Presidential authority espcially immediate after we have been attacked. In a time of crises, we have to come together and act in concert. The fact that Bush abused his authority and made bad judgement in our response to an attack is a tragedy. It s made worse by making every one look bad and that the lesson we are getting is to automatically go against anyone with authority. Congress is getting a bad, but at the same time, I have to admit that Nancy Pelosi has not shown to have leadership capabilities. She is intellectually too weak.
