Give 'em Hell, Jay

West Virginia's junior Senator, Jay Rockefeller, is the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee in the newly Democratic-controlled Senate. As such, he has access to more of the juicy info on Iraq, the War on Terra, etc. than most lawmakers. Over the weekend, he let fly with some stinging criticism of Duhbya:

Mr. Rockefeller was biting in his criticism of how President Bush has dealt with the threat of Islamic radicalism since the Sept. 11 attacks, saying he believed that the campaign against international terrorism was 'still a mystery' to the president.

'I don’t think he understands the world,' Mr. Rockefeller said. 'I don’t think he’s particularly curious about the world. I don’t think he reads like he says he does.'

In other words, Duhbya and reality don't intersect all that often. Color me shocked.
