André Carson tweeted just a few hours ago,@RepAndreCarson: Its official! So honored to be appointed to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. What does The United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) do? From the ABOUT webpage tab on the HPSCI website: The United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI)is a committee of the United States House of Representatives, currently chaired by U.S. Congressman Mike Rogers (Michigan). The HPSCI is charged with the oversight of the United States Intelligence Community, which includes the intelligence and intelligence related activities of 17 elements of the US Government, and the Military Intelligence Program. Why did Nancy Pelosi appoint Representative Andre Carson(D-IN) to The United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI)? Be ready for some serious resume flaunting by the Left and the establishment elitists on this guy to counter the already published political backlash delivered after the announcement was made yesterday that his appointment was coming. Here are some merits to be mulling over how to respond to: First elected as part of a special election in early 2008, Congressman André Carson is now serving in his 3rd full term in the U.S. House of Representatives. Since taking office, he has established himself as an influential leader and respected public servant.... During the 113th Congress, Carson serves as a Senior Whip for the House Democratic Caucus and as a member of the Congressional Black Caucus’s Executive Leadership Team,.... He is a graduate of Arsenal Tech High School, and he holds a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice Management... In the 113th Congress, Rep. Carson served on the House Armed Services Committee. .... – a fitting appointment as Congressman Carson has already experienced notable legislative success in the issues surrounding our armed forces. In 2011, President Obama signed two pieces of Carson legislation into law: The Service Members Mental Health Screening Act, which ensures comprehensive evaluation of mental health assessments before and after deployment, and the Military Families Financial Preparedness Act, which provides service members and their spouses with financial counseling before leaving the military. Before taking office, Congressman Carson served on the Indianapolis City-County Council and worked full-time in law enforcement. Carson previously worked for the Indiana Department of Homeland Security in the anti-terrorism unit. carson.house.gov/about/biography “As the only Member of Congress to have served in a Department of Homeland Security Fusion Center, Congressman Carson’s historic appointment brings new perspectives, practical experience, strong leadership, and proven dedication to fighting terrorism and protecting our country.”- Nancy Pelosi democraticleader.gov/newsroom/pelosi-names-house-democrats-intelligence-committee/ Carson, who joined the House of Representatives in 2008, brings a variety of skills and personal experience to this assignment.

Later, Carson worked in intelligence and counter-terrorism for the Indiana Department of Homeland Security. carson.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/carson-appointed-to-house-intelligence-committee From Politico: Carson would be the first Muslim to serve on the committee and was the second Muslim to be elected to Congress. He already serves on the Armed Services Committee and worked for the Department of Homeland Security’s Fusion Center — the clearinghouse established by the federal government to streamline data sharing between the CIA, FBI, Department of Justice and the military. politico/story/2015/01/andre-carson-muslim-intelligence-committee-114213.html#ixzz3Oj7nRrhU Are there more reasons Pelosi appointed Andre Carson? Was his appointment to draw criticism intentionally that could be used against the Right as racist and bigoted to paint any opposition as Islamophobes? We know this is a given, but is this a needed distraction? It could be because there is likely not anything that we can do about his appointment.
