		Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich.), who has been steadfast in his resolve to see these documents released, said today that "this is a bold decision in favor of openness that will go a long way towards improving our understanding of prewar Iraq.
		Hoekstra took the offer as a good first step, but in a letter to Negroponte that same day insisted that documents relevant to the war be included in any release.
		Hoekstra says there is "no silver bullet, no smoking gun" in those documents, but that their contents are nonetheless very interesting.

	Media Mouse: Holland Republican Pete Hoekstra named Chairman of House Intelligence Committee: Grand Rapids Michigan ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Hoekstra will be replacing Representative Porter Goss who became the new CIA director earlier this month.
		Representative Hoekstra claimed that "Saddam turned U.N. disarmament requirements into a game of deception designed to buy more time to increase his stockpile of chemical and biological weapons even as 250,000 U.S. troops were stationed at his border," a clear lie as no weapons of mass destruction have been found in Iraq.
		It is also worth noting that Pete Hoekstra was elected promising to serve no more than 12 years and to not accept PAC money, both of which he has broken as he seeks his 13th year in office with $151,882 so far this election in PAC contributions, 98% of which come from businesses.

	Osama for Bush; Kotos for Congress, Michigan District 2
		He is a staunch party loyalist, and he is very deeply implicated in the total failure of the House intelligence committee to provide even a bare minimum of its oversight responsibility; rather he has proven to be the perfect "yes" man to rubber-stamp and pass through the pre-ordained disastrous Bush foreign policy agenda.
		For this service and in deference to his fundraising "prowess" (for which he is under investigation by the FEC for money laundering) Hoekstra is now being rewarded with the House intelligence committee chairmanship.
		Hoekstra is to be returned to Congress, and particularly now that he has been chosen by Dennis Hastert to chair the Intelligence committee, his reactions to these new revelations of torture should be solicited and made available to the voters of the District.

		But Hoekstra, a Republican of Michigan, suggested that the public disclosure of the program's existence, in December in The New York Times, has undermined its effectiveness.
		Hoekstra and Harman appeared with two others: the Senate Intelligence Committee chairman, Pat Roberts, Republican of Kansas, and former Senator Tom Daschle of South Dakota, who was the Senate Democratic leader.
		The two Republicans, Hoekstra and Roberts, said Congress does not need to pass further legislation granting specific authority to conduct the eavesdropping because the president had authority under the resolution that lawmakers passed four days after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, allowing him to take on Al Qaeda.

		He said the Department of Defense, which has its own intelligence agencies, had been the biggest opponent to intelligence reform and that there were continuing tensions between the CIA and the Defense Department.
