So what else is new?

“It was a solemn pledge, repeated by Democratic leaders and candidates over and over: If elected to the majority in Congress, Democrats would implement all of the recommendations of the bipartisan commission that examined the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

But with control of Congress now secured, Democratic leaders have decided for now against implementing the one measure that would affect them most directly: a wholesale reorganization of Congress to improve oversight and funding of the nation’s intelligence agencies. Instead, Democratic leaders may create a panel to look at the issue and produce recommendations, according to congressional aides and lawmakers.

Because plans for implementing the commission’s recommendations are still fluid, Democratic officials would not speak for the record. But aides on the House and Senate appropriations, armed services and intelligence committees confirmed this week that a reorganization of Congress would not be part of the package of homeland-security changes up for passage in the “first 100 hours” of the Democratic Congress.”

Most of the so-called recommendations of the 9/11 Omission Commission would create hugh bureaucracies of oversight and (pork). However, that aside implementing ALL the recommendations was the Democratic platform and one of their criticisms of the Republicans.

So we have the Murtha shuffle, the Hastings gaft and now broken promises. Hello America! How’s it feel to be hoodwinked?
