Except there never has been any committee appointed to investigate the Iraq
intelligence. Not one. As the republicans like to bleat "we are at war and
you do not investigate a war during wartime." And since the war on terra
has no ending, well follow the logic. However investigations are now just
beginning and already what they've uncovered is extremely damning.

As for congressman having the same access to intel, that is absolutely
false. They do not. Perhaps a very few do, who are on select committees
but overall they can not just go into the CIA and demand a briefing. They
are only allowed to see what the WH permits them to see.

You have a very weak grasp of facts and an even weaker grasp of reality.
