Harry Reid introduced an amendment to the Homeland Security Bill that would "prevent anyone who discloses the identity of a covert CIA operative from having a security clearance."
The Republicans have countered with the Frist Amendment. This is totally fucking psycho.
Any federal officeholder who makes reference to a classified Federal Bureau of Investigation report on the floor of the United States Senate, or any federal officeholder that makes a statement based on a FBI agent's comments which is used as propaganda by terrorist organizations thereby putting our servicemen and women at risk, shall not be permitted access to such information or to hold a security clearance for access to such information.
I.e., it's ILLEGAL to talk about:
- Abu Ghraib
- Iraqi dissatisfaction w/ our occupation
- Iraqi civilian casualties
