Feingold lands seat on Intelligence Committee

With Sen. Jon Corzine leaving to become governor of New Jersey, Wisconsin's own Sen. Russ Feingold will be filling his spot on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

From his press release:

"I am honored to take a seat on the Senate Intelligence Committee and I look forward to continuing to work on national security issues in this new capacity. From fighting terrorism, to protecting our rights and freedoms, to getting our Iraq and national security policies right, the Intelligence Committee will be another forum to help advance the issues a majority of Americans care about."
