BOB KERREY weighs in on the Democratic intelligence memo scandal:

The production of a memo by an employee of a Democratic member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence is an example of the destructive side of partisan politics. That it probably emerged as a consequence of an increasingly partisan environment in Washington and may have been provoked by equally destructive Republican acts is neither a comfort nor a defensible rationalization.

He notes that the intelligence committees are supposed to be beyond partisanship, and have been so in the past.
