"Betrayal": Dem is "furious, double-crossed, misled ... shocked" by Bush [VIDEO]
Democrat Jay Rockefeller is livid at Bush's "anti-Constitutional, anti-American" interference in a vote on intelligence oversight. Bush, dismissing the Senate's Constitutional oversight role, told Republicans that to prove they were loyal republicans they must vote his way.
According to taraka das:
Under the legislation, Bush would have to tell lawmakers about interrogation tactics at the [secret CIA] prisons, and the government would be required to publicly reveal total spending on intelligence programs, which is estimated to be about $44 billion annually.
