Talk:100-Hour Plan

How long
How many days is this likely to last? Assuming a 10 hour working day that would be 10 days or until the 17th 22nd assuming a 5 day working week but I have no idea if either of these assumptions are likelyt to be correct Nil Einne 15:09, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Tax subsidies?
Does the US really subsidise oil companies? Or does this refer to subsidies supposedly for renewable energy and the likely that oil companies are taking advantage of? Nil Einne 15:12, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Let's talk about this
Behun, I've taken great care to address your concerns. The sourcing in the Washington Post is as solid as depleted uranium. Take care to read both pages of the article. Jane Harman isn't mentioned until the second page. I do not say that she served as chair. I only said that she was blocked from serving as chair, which is completely, 100% accurate.

 * She wasn't even the ranking member on the committee. If you picked the member who was ranking then it would have been Alcee Hastings.  But she didn't pick him and picked the third in line.  Also, term limits don't apply to chairman/woman of the committee so it wouldn't have applied to the reason why she wasn't picked.  Also, the whole article was biased (anti-democrat article and a non-biased article should have been chosen) and with that incorrect fact, I am feel more references are needed for the other sections of this paragraph.  Plus, how can you be 100% accurate about an article? Behun 12:42, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Alcee Hastings has had serious ethical problems. He was impeached and removed from the federal bench for perjury. He is only present in the House because there is no federal law prohibiting his election and service there under these circumstances. Next in line was Harman. Pelosi rejected her, and according to the Washington Post, Pelosi explicitly invoked term limits when she did so. This repudiated one of the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission, which suggested the abandonment of term limits in Congressional oversight of intelligence agencies, in favor of experience and continuity. The paragraph is 100% accurate, according to this reliable source, and I stand behind it.

If you can find a reliable source that contradicts the Washington Post and is equally reliable, I would support including that version in the article as well. Thanks for participating in this discussion, please continue to do so, and if you can find another reliable source, I look forward to seeing it. Dino 15:48, 1 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Why are we using an article from 11/30/2006 that dates to a time PRIOR to Pelosi being sworn in and the start of the "100 Hour Clock" to report on what happened AFTER? Yes, the Washington Post is a reputable source, but it cannot predict the future.  It's a bit like saying that Wikipedia should state that Thomas E. Dewey was the 34th President because it says right there in the Chicago Tribune: "DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN".

The 9/11 Commission recommended (on p420) that Congress either have ONE joint committee with responsibility for intelligence oversight or TWO (one in each house) "combining authorizing and appropriating authorities". To the best of my knowledge, the House Select Committee on Intelligence (http://intelligence.house.gov/) now has that power. It also recommends that each house have a permanent Committee on Homeland Security (http://homeland.house.gov/), which was done in the House in January 2005. It could be argued that Pelosi and her team cannot take credit for this, but I don't think they have tried to. The purpose of HR 1 was to implement the unimplemented Commission recommendations.
