Repubs say Congress had the same intel as the WH, if so give up the PDBs.
War and Piece: The PDBs

(snip)

The proof is in the pudding. I can't imagine why the White House will want to do anything but expedite Kennedy's request to prove everybody was seeing the same stuff. And wouldn't a key thing also be what was in the Vice President's daily brief? One wonders if the vice prez was getting his own version? And what about any documentation from the White House Iraq Group? Fitzgerald subpoenaed a bunch of it for a certain time period relevant to the Plame investigation. Why not get the whole archive? After what we've learned from Fitzgerald, it's impossible to have confidence in any SSCI Phase II report which wouldn't examine those three areas, as well as other points in the terms of reference.

1. It's the only way the WH can prove ...
... whether history is being 're-written' or not.

It's your turn, Bush. Show 'em, or fold 'em.

2. Like the House Dems said yesterday in the intel press conference...
there is too much document classification. The White House only like to do selective declassification.

3. ...and DE-classify the Classified...
If the White House truly thinks that Congress had the SAME intel, then ask them to declassify ALL of the info Congress requested. Anything the WH didn't want the committee to see....they slapped a "CLASSIFIED" label on it.

So, no...Congress did NOT have the same intel....they had the "cherry-picked" intel.

...big difference.

4. Senate and House Intelligence Committees should be
allowed to see the PDB's and to questions anyone who provided the info. Dems need to start screaming, put up or shut up. Dems need to get backbone and force the Administration to share than info.
