American Spectator:

    Some Republicans on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence are wondering what it is Democratic member Rep. Rush Holt (NJ) thinks he's doing by so publicly discussing issues related to the Joe Wilson scandal. Particularly since Holt, like other Democrats, has been receiving information that little to no damage appears to have occurred as the result of Wilson's wife's name having become more publicly known. Holt has appeared on a number of TV shows, including an embarrassing 60 Minutes advertorial for Wilson.

    Holt has claimed that he knows almost certainly that damage was done to intelligence resources as a result of Valerie Plame's name being further disseminated. But the CIA has briefed both the House and the Senate Intelligence Committees that thus far that does not appear to the case at all.

    Of course, that information would be confidential, and Holt shouldn't discuss it.

    "The fact is Holt shouldn't be talking at all to anyone, especially the press," says a Republican House colleague. "More important, if he is going to talk, he ought to be honest, and what he is telling the media right now is not accurate. It's what they want to hear, but it's not accurate or complete."
