| rdfs:label | - Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
|
| rdfs:comment | - The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence is a committee in the United States Senate. It is supposed to keep an eye on the executive branch and its various Intelligence agencies, like CIA, DIA, NSA, etc. As for the Habbush Letter.... the question is, as raised by 'a reader' of Andrew Sullivan, did this committee find out anything? How come they didn't figure out any of the stuff that Suskind figured out? If they interviewed some of the same people that Suskind interviews, how come those people didn't bring all this stuff up?
- The U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) was created by the Senate on May 19, 1976, to "oversee and make continuing studies of the intelligence activities and programs of the United States Government," to "submit to the Senate appropriate proposals for legislation and report to the Senate concerning such intelligence activities and programs," and to "provide vigilant legislative oversight over the intelligence activities of the United States to assure that such activities are in conformity with the Constitution and laws of the United States."
