MATT DRUDGE is reporting tonight that Bill Gertz (no link yet) is set to break in the Washington Times that the Congress is set to impose new restrictions on the Presidential use of special ops forces, requiring a Presidential Finding for all operations. This is a horrible idea, one which extreme ramifications which might not be seen fully for years to come.

We don't need an emasculated CIA and emasculated Special Forces, always looking over their shoulder for Congressional inquisitors. What is desperately needed today are bad-ass forces who can go around killing terrorists without worrying much about the diplomatic niceites of it (or the 'civil liberties' of terrorist murderers, for that matter).

This sounds like a reasonable request- and will be spun a such, but don't believe it folks, this is deadly serious, wrong, and dangerous.
