The war on oversight

An anonymous US Senator, alleged to be Jim DeMint (R - SC), has put a "hold" on the Intelligence Authorization Bill preventing its passage.

"[S]ources said that they believe the hold is due to White House objections to specific provisions, including public disclosure of the national intelligence budget; a requirement for a report on secret CIA prisons; and response to information requests by the committee chairman and vice chairman within 30 days."

Why do they hate democracy?
