Democrats in Congress haven't even officially come into power in Washington -- they won't be the majority party until January -- but they have already begun breaking their campaign promises that help propel them to the top.

Not that this news is downright surprising, but the fact that the Washington Post is calling Democrats on their words is.

As the Post's story point out, Democrat leaders Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) and Harry Reid (D.-Nev.) repeatedly promised to "fully implement the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission" if Democrats became the majority power in Washinton this next year. They made these promises despite having voted many of the most important recommendations over the last few years.

Considering the fact that the entire Democratic campaign plan this past year was based around the war, and a big reason they came to power is because the public wanted changes made to change the course of the war, this is big time. The public should be outraged at such a blatant betrayal.

Reports the Post:

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.

Here's a rundown of the recommendations made by the 9-11 commission.
