Actually Loon found it at TB2k.

link Condit Named to Subcommittee on Homeland Security Rep. Gary Condit has been named to a House subcommittee on terrorism and security. His first move was to send a letter to law enforcement agencies to ask their thoughts on improving homeland security.

Condit, who represents Modesto and other communities in the Central Valley, is now a member of the House Permanent Select Committee's newly formed Subcommittee on Terrorism and Homeland Security.

Condit has been a member of the House Intelligence Committee, but there was talk the Democratic leadership would have him removed because of his involvement with a Modesto woman who disappeared from Washington in May. Condit is not a suspect in her disappearance, but he has come under fire for remaining largely silent on the matter.

I would love to find out WHO THE HELL appointed him to this committee.

Absolute insanity. For one thing, here is a man quite possibly open to blackmail. And even if this fear is unfounded, what an insane choice.

Yep, I posted it on the first thread. Man, it's sickening, I was hoping it was a misreport.

Condit Picked For Anti-Terror Role

WASHINGTON Rep. Gary Condit — whose career was crumbling under scandal just two weeks ago — has been named to a new House subcommittee on homeland security.

In late August, House leaders signaled they wanted to remove the California Democrat from the House Intelligence Committee after he gave evasive answers to police and reporters about his relationship with missing intern Chandra Levy.

But the tragedy Sept. 11 has wiped Condit from the headlines and enabled him to take a prominent place on the front lines of national defense.

Condit served on a terrorism task force as a member of the Intelligence Committee. The task force was turned into a formal subcommittee late last week to work with — and oversee — President Bush's new anti-terror czar, Gov. Tom Ridge of Pennsylvania.

Condit traveled to New York last week with other members of the new subcommittee to tour the ruins of the World Trade Center.

Two words: Fox/Henhouse

It's way bigger than we can imagine, I'm afraid.

I think there is enough known about Condit now to say that he is a security risk.
