I do think congressional oversight is necessary. I said that (1) the question shouldn't have been asked in a public forum, (2) Clapper should have thought of some way to avoid perjuring himself (don't know how he could have) without giving the whole "we can't comment at this time" answer. When it comes to something secret, anything but a denial is a tacit admission. Try that with your wife if she asks if you're having an affair.
