Did Reid pick the best three dems to look into the report ?

Do you think we have our best mercilessly brutal democrats in there for that six person group ?

I know Rockefeller and Levin are. Is Feinstein aggressive enough ?

Reid and the Dems put the most capable people at their disposal. I trust they all have their strengths that will ask the tough and correct questions.

husband one of the people raking in big bucks off this war as a defense contractor?

Why isn't Reid in there?

Call me very curious! I've never heard anything about him.

Army contract for Feinstein's husband
Blum is a director of firm that will get up to $600 million

URS Corp., a San Francisco planning and engineering firm partially owned by CaliforniaSen. Dianne Feinstein's husband, landed an Army contract Monday worth up to $600million.

The award to help with troop mobilization, weapons systems training and anti-terrorism efforts is the latest in a string of plum defense jobs snared by URS. In February, the firm won an army engineering and logistics contract that could bring in $3.1 billion during the next eight years.

Government contracting has come under increasing scrutiny by Congress and citizen groups, with critics decrying the political connections of firms winning lucrative jobs. Richard Blum, Feinstein's husband, serves on the company's board of directors and controls about 24 percent of the firm's stock,

according to Hoover's Inc. research firm.

A Feinstein spokesman Monday declined to comment on the contract.

This will give them a perfect opportunity to claim one of our foremost complaining senators' own husband is profiting from the war.

Not good at all. Senator Reid. STEP IN !!!!!

Feinstein is a Corporatist Democrat (read DLC) up for reelection next November in a very savvy blue state. I wonder if Reid is giving her an opportunity to redeem herself with the progressive wing of the 'big tent' Democratic party.

she is not popular any longer in no. calif!!
she has voted with so many neo con bills!!

this is stupid..here we get the biggest door open and then we get ms warbucks on the committee!

fly

Not sure about the others, but Levin is a pittbull.

talking about it. He doesn't seem too bright. Feinstein gets mixed reviews here on DU..and her CA constituents here really don't like her.

:shrug: I guess they had to pick the DINO's to work with the Repugs. Maybe they can get something accomplished.

So they have been working on this for a while.

And people, if today taught us anything, it's that Reid knows what he's doing. Let's trust him.

was sort of weird to type!)! I'm trusting Reid!

The infamous "Dead Parrot" sketch from Monty Python's Flying Circus show. :D

because she is in collusion with the neocons: her husband's company, the Perini group, is making mega-bucks on contracts in Iraq.
