It shouldn't be any problem for Chertoff to get the measures he wants. According to the Boston Globe, most representatives in Congress don't bother reading the wording of intelligence bills - they just vote for them trusting the administration. Note: That's Republicans and Democrats alike.

According to a Middle East expert with knowledge of the current thinking of both the Israeli and the U.S. governments, Israel had devised a plan for attacking Hezbollah—and shared it with Bush Administration officials—well before the July 12th kidnappings...Robert Fisk has written several articles on Lebanon from his home in Beirut. From the latest:
The Israeli plan, according to the former senior intelligence official, was “the mirror image of what the United States has been planning for Iran.”
The US saw this war as an opportunity to humble Hizbollah's Iranian and Syrian sponsors but already it seems as if the tables have been turned. The Israeli military appears to be efficient at destroying bridges, power stations, gas stations and apartment blocks - but signally inefficient in crushing the "terrorist" army they swore to liquidate.

This is rich: the RIAA wants to depose the family of a dead man in order to collect funds from his estate. Being the sensitive organization that it is, the RIAA is giving the family 60 days to grieve.

Sounds just like the U.S. and the Afghani Freedom Fighters during the Cold War. I am thinking of Iran and Hezbollah. Maybe if we stop trying to hold Iran's head under the water, they won't have any desire to fund Hezbollah any longer. Heck they might have the same lovely experiences with their former proxy warriors as we had with the freedom fighters we now call terrorists.
