Congressman Denied Access To Federal Post-Terror Attack Plans
Norm Ornstein, a legal scholar who studies government continuity at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, said he "cannot think of one good reason" to deny access to a member of Congress who serves on the Homeland Security Committee.
"I find it inexplicable and probably reflective of the usual, knee-jerk overextension of executive power that we see from this White House," Ornstein said.
This is the first time DeFazio has been denied access to documents. DeFazio has asked Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., to help him access the documents.
"Maybe the people who think there's a conspiracy out there are right," DeFazio said.

"A 9/11 truther attended a talk which Homeland Security Head Michael Chertoff gave today at USC on port and supply-chain security and public infrastructure protection.
The truther reported to me today by email that Chertoff spoke about more "gut feelings" he (Chertoff) has about a simultaneous Los Angeles / San Francisco dirty bomb attack that "our enemy is surely planning"."
