Really, Mike Rogers? Execute? Does that include your ol' pal "Leaky Pete" Hoekstra?

Just dug this up from the ol' memory hole. It seemed like the right thing to do today.

Pete Hoekstra Leaking Secrets Again

We already know that Representative Pete Hoekstra (R-MI) has a problem keeping secrets. Unsurprisingly, Hoekstra, the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, is at it again. This time, Rep. Hoekstra is leaking details of intelligence monitoring to the press as they relate to a radical cleric with connection to Major Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter.
From Rachel:

MADDOW: Why is it Pete Hoekstra who's taking it upon himself to tell the press that this radical cleric is having his email read by U.S. intelligence agencies? The FBI had not said publicly that this cleric had been emailing Hasan. The CIA, the NSA, the White House - nobody else had reported this cleric was e-mailing Hasan. This is just Pete Hoekstra letting us know - and letting the radical cleric who is under surveillance know - that he's under surveillance.
Marcy Wheeler also has an extensive documentation of Pete Hoekstra's record of mishandling and outright lying when it comes to matters of intelligence and national security. Even though Hoekstra has proven that he cannot be trusted with intelligence, and occasionally makes up his own intelligence to get some press attention, he is still the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee.

If Hoekstra weren't retiring from the House to run for Governor of Michigan, I'd call for his removal from that committee. Come to think of it, maybe there is a connection between that, and him making shit up to get his name in a few papers.

1. I voted against Mike Rogers today. Not that it will do any good.

That A$$hole will win handily in November, damnit! His local staff sucks rope too!
