DemocRAT Bill Delahunt Sics al Qaeda On Fellow Congressman!

This is so disgustingly, outrageously beyond the pale. They need to censure this guy's tail. Yeesh!

(Love CNN's lameass headline title... this should spark anyone's ire.)

Democrat's al Qaeda comment sparks Republican ire - CNN.com

During a contentious House hearing on harsh interrogation techniques for terror suspects Thursday, Rep. Bill Delahunt, D-Massachusetts, was pressing David Addington, the vice president's chief of staff, about meetings he attended while serving as Cheney's chief counsel.

Delahunt asked repeatedly whether the topic of waterboarding, a controversial interrogation technique that simulates drowning, ever came up.

Addington replied that he could not discuss that because "al Qaeda may watch C-SPAN."

"Right," Delahunt responded. "Well, I'm sure they are watching, and I'm glad they finally have the chance to see you, Mr. Addington."

"Yeah, I'm sure you're pleased," Addington shot back.

"Given your penchant for being unobtrusive," Delahunt said of Addington's ability to stay behind the scenes.

Cheney spokeswoman Lea Anne McBride said "the congressman's comments were inappropriate," and Republican Rep. Steve King expressed outrage that Delahunt said he was happy about the staffer becoming a "publicly televised target" of al Qaeda.

"With Rep. Bill Delahunt's remarks inciting al Qaeda to violence, David Addington and his family will need protection until the war on terror is over," King, of Iowa, said in a written statement. "I wonder if Bill Delahunt is ready to guard Mr. Addington's home and family."

And, oh... in case al Qaeda missed C-SPAN coverage live, CNN was kind enough to provide al Qaeda with a picture of the subject. ARGH!

BUT DON'T QUESTION THE LEFT'S PATRIOTISM!
