Not Harman (failed at her job)
Not Hastings (endless ethics sniping)
Next highest ranking member, with many years of experience, and he's not a blue dog

Not Harman (Bipartisan, Security over politics, no disagreement with Bush Admin no matter what attitude, well documented personal dislike)

Hastings (Corrupt ex-judge, political handout to Congressional Black caucus that would not even get by liberal media bias)

Don't know about this guy yet, but........TEXAS!

Rons gots some bio details on Reyes, (though I'm sure you've all looked this up aleardy), but just in case

Reyes to head House intelligence panel

yahoos account of his 'key voting record'

BTW Reyes' bio is almost tailor made to be cited by nearly all LLers to support their views on nearly all the most contentious subjects

Thanks AVSP and RON! That is more than I read in my morning paper!

Good job!


Seems like a mixed bag. Pelosi party line on Iraq but knows the border problem and can look beyond race politics on the issue. Why did we not hear of this guy when that was hot button?

And Intelligence was not cherry picked, but we did get it wrong. That is worth looking into. I just hope he can keep it bipartisan?
