At CFIF, I explain why an important new report by The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper makes it imperative that no vote be held on the nomination of Chuck Hagel as Defense Secretary until Hagel’s papers, housed at the University of Nebraska-Omaha, are made public. Short version: These papers will be public anyway in about two years. They aren’t intended to be secret, so senators should see them now.
This is clearly cause for Harry Reid to delay the vote — and, if he won’t, then for Republicans and any senators with any intellectual integrity at all to support continuation, at least for now, of a filibuster.

Oldefarte, darn, I'd really love to see that! However, I'm not holding my breath, blue is not my colour. Second, the Republicans to grow a pair now would sure be interesting to see. Again, not holding my breath.

With all of the problems facing us , this neocon blogger can only talk about Hagel.

Mike W: Hagel is set to be Defense Secretary, which is a Constitutionally important executive role. I think this is important to talk about, second only to the overall budget discussions.
How is Defense Secretary a minor issue?
