I'm not surprised the RHINOs lined up to denounce Bachmann. It's a surefire way to get favorable coverage in the liberal media. Obviously none of them bothered to read the letters, which raised detailed questions about specific muslin extremists who were made part of official US government panels, etc. Others have noted that by doing this, the government marginalizes more moderate and friendly muslims and enhances the stature of Brrotherhood fronts.
That sounds like something that a member of the Intelligence Committee has a right to ask about.
