Ignorance on the Intelligence Committee

Rep. Terry Everett (R-AL), asked if he knows the difference between Sunni and Shiite Muslims: “Mr. Everett responded with a low chuckle. He thought for a moment: ‘One’s in one location, another’s in another location. No, to be honest with you, I don’t know. I thought it was differences in their religion, different families or something.’” Everett is the vice chair of the House Intelligence Committee.

LSB: Could this be part of the oversight problem by the House Intelligence Committee on the war in Iraq? Shouldn't the vice chair have a better handle on this?
