“one individual in the Senate said the Senate was hijacked, as though someone came in with a gun, waving it and saying, I am here to take over; but simply using the rules of that body, the Senate, just like we use the rules here in the House towards the benefit of the American people. Reports have said that what came out of it is hopefully a report that will surface in a couple of weeks about some of our intelligence failures. I can say that Mr. Inslee, a couple of speakers ago, mentioned the fact of outing a CIA agent, and I must say my good friend from the Garden State New Jersey and also Mr. Delahunt stated that a CIA agent, a clandestine agent, was outed, but a number of agents were outed. A number of agents, agents that we will not even know their names for now, left up to this White House; they may be outed tomorrow, if they get in the way. I think that it is 110 percent correct, as Mr. Pallone said, if you get in the way, and I do not even like to use the word ``Republican,'' because I have a lot of good friends who are Republicans and I have some folks on the majority side that I know that they go home every night and lift the toilet seat up, and they are literally sick. They have to put their heads in a porcelain bowl because they are sick of what is going on in this institution.…”
