*A "member" meaning a member of Congress?!?”* Yes
*“Do you think the Pentagon can ignore an inquiry from Congress, or tell Congress it will not answer? That is not how it works. The Pentagon must respond. It would respond. It would give the information to a Representative who has security clearance and is sworn to keep it secret. The Pentagon can no more refuse to give Congress information than it it can refuse the President.* *If a member of Congress were to ask the Pentagon "did you buy the Rossi reactor" and the Pentagon did not answer promptly and honestly, that alone would a scandal. That would be in news.?”* If all works like it is designed to, the congressional hearing would be held behind closed doors and the information would be kept secret. It is true that politicians for their own political benefit reveal state secrets. Take the case of Richard Bruce "Dick" Cheney for example. On October 18, 2005, The Washington Post reported that the vice president's office was central to the investigation of the Valerie Plame CIA leak scandal, for Cheney's former chief of staff, Lewis "Scooter" Libby, was one of the figures under investigation. Following an indictment, Libby resigned his positions as Cheney's chief of staff and assistant on national security affairs. On September 8, 2006, Richard Armitage, former Deputy Secretary of State, publicly announced that he was the source of the revelation of Plame's status. Armitage said he was not a part of a conspiracy to reveal Plame's identity and did not know whether one existed. In February 2006, The National Journal reported that Libby had stated before a grand jury that his superiors, including Cheney, had authorized him to disclose classified information to the press regarding intelligence on Iraq's weapons. On March 6, 2007, Libby was convicted on four felony counts for obstruction of justice, perjury, and making false statements to federal investigators. In his closing arguments, independent prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald said that there was "a cloud over the vice president", an apparent reference to Cheney's interview with FBI agents investigating the case, which was made public in 2009. Cheney lobbied President George W. Bush vigorously and unsuccessfully to grant Libby a full Presidential pardon up to the day of Barack Obama's inauguration, likening Libby to a "soldier on the battlefield" For the sake of the country, let us pray that such wrongdoing by these lowlife politicians stops immediately.
