Hunter Lays Slow Hand On Heated Rush.(ISSUES & INSIGHTS)(VIEWPOINT)
Byline: CHRIS WARDEN
It may seem odd to call a 24-year veteran of the House of Representatives an outsider. But Rep. Duncan Hunter, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, has made a career out of bucking Washington's insiders.
And his latest stand is a tribute to the way representative democracy is supposed to work.
You see, Hunter did not rush with the Washington crowd to "reform" the nation's intelligence system. In fact, he is being cast as a villain for blocking a bill that all the insiders were pushing.
Hunter correctly saw that the bill would have gutted the ability of our armed forces to fight the war on terror -- or any other war, for that matter.
Here's how The New York Times put it: "But House Republicans led by Duncan Hunter . . . weakened their version in the service of a turf-conscious Pentagon and committee chairmen who put their powers ahead of the nation's security."
A review of the bill, though, shows that the nation's security would have been weakened by jeopardizing U.S. troops' security if it had passed.
