For Congress, ‘it’s classified’ is new equivalent of ‘none of your business’

“The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence reportedly gave its approval last week to an Obama administration plan to provide weapons to moderate rebels in Syria, but how individual members of the committee stood on the subject remains unknown.  There was no public debate and no public vote when one of the most contentious topics in American foreign policy was decided.  Members of both the Senate intelligence committee or its equivalent in the House were difficult to pin down on their view of providing arms to the rebels. The senators and representatives said they couldn’t give an opinion, or at least a detailed one, because the matter was classified.”
