Lieberman: Even Worse Than You Think

Looks like the Senate Committee on Homeland Security's latest terrorism report wasn't authored by the committee at all, but rather by Independent Democrat Joe Lieberman...

Chip Berlet:

Lieberman is no neophyte on the political scene. He surely knows the report, its release timed as it is to coincide with the heating up of the general election campaigns, will be used for political ends-- to whiplash Barack Obama and to push both Obama and Hillary Clinton toward hard-line policy positions on the Middle East, as well as to more generally soften opposition to civil liberties abuses by the Bush Administration. More than any serious attempt to examine the serious issues it addresses, the report seems a mere election year political trick.
