66.63.57.2 16:34, 1 December 2006 (UTC) This page needs a lot of help since Pelosi recently promoted this guy to Chair of the Intelligence Committee. Vietnam background? What issues is he a champion of? Why did he get to Chair this committee over other more experienced committee members?

[edit] More troops, he says

Look at the MSNBC website. He favors more troops. Somebody, put that info into the article. -Amit —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.22.216.150 (talk) 05:57, 6 December 2006 (UTC).

Errr, now he thinks more troops is UNTHINKABLE. Can we put a section in about being a hypocrite. 24.2.97.154 16:02, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Controversy over statements in the Congressional Quarterly

It is important that this article highlights Congressman Reyes' lack of an even basic understanding of al-Qaeda or the difference between a Shi'ite or Sunni. Whatever political stripe you are, it must be shocking that a congressman (who has presumably sat in on a number of intelligence briefings over the last five years) has to guess on such a basic question. What has this guy been doing all of these years? For that matter, are the other members (Republican or Democrat) of the house intelligence committee similarly clueless? How about the rest of Congress or the White House? Why do they even bother with a committee at all if knuckleheads like this are running things??? --71.146.52.29 18:12, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 10 Years in Congress?

The man has been in Congress for 10 years and there is barely 5 paragraphs about him? That to me is the scariest thing of all...What the hell has he been doing? Gohiking 18:17, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
