| Feinstein under fire over drone facility in Pakistan remarks |
| 2009-02-27 |
| Republican members of the House Intelligence Committee have asked the Obama administration to conduct an inquiry into comments by Senator Dianne Feinstein that appeared to confirm the existence of a secret US facility inside Pakistan used to carry out drone attacks in the Tribal Areas. Amid growing concern inside Pakistan over the strikes, Newsweek reported that the unusual request by the Republicans sought a 'damage assessment' into the remarks by Feinstein, the new chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. The request was made in a secret letter to Dennis Blair, Obama's new director of national intelligence, sent recently by Republican Pete Hoekstra and other Republicans on the House intel panel, according to several congressional sources quoted by Newsweek. |

| #5 Besoeker, Would it be a safe assumption that if Newsweek is involved the Hoekstra camp isn’t the “congressional sources”? |

| #4 That's the good news Depot Guy. The bad news is you've been assigned to conduct the formal damage assessment. Your S: is March 15th. Requests for S: extensions will not be authorized. |

| #3 “The request was made in a secret letter to Dennis Blair… according to several congressional sources quoted by Newsweek.” Great. We now have a leaked disclosure of a secret letter regarding a leaked disclosure of a secret military facility. |
