Powerful Democrat agrees to block disclosure of intelligence budget
By John Byrne, Raw Story

Murtha accepts amendment to mask budget without debate

Chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense John Murtha (D-PA) has moved to block a provision President Bush signed into law making the national intelligence budget public.

"One day after President Bush signed into law a bill that requires public disclosure of the national intelligence budget, the House of Representatives adopted an amendment to prevent that requirement from taking effect," Steven Aftergood, editor of Secrecy News, wrote Monday.

Passed by Congress last month and signed into law last Friday, "Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007," called for the disclosure of the national intelligence budget.

Only it now appears that a powerful member of the party challenging Bush Administration secrecy -- the Democrats -- will move to keep the figures under wraps.

1. Bush wanted to make something public?

That's highly suspicious. There's something else going on here we don't know.

2. Murtha must not be pushing for that out of thin air...

Maybe many of his 'contacts' have made it clear that THEY don't want having to 'justify' a 'few' (gulp...) amounts THEY don't want to have to 'answer' for... and maybe they R 'threatening' to 'reduce' the quantity and quality of their 'collaborations' with him.

This information is troubling, nonetheless.

What to do, what to do?

3. I guess the Democrats are now "taking their gloves off" for the Real Fight!
