Pelosi: No to Harman on Intelligence Committee?

Here's an interesting turn of events...Jane Harman is a powerful force in the House Intelligence Committee....will Speaker Pelosi name Jane Harman as chair?
Looks like the answer may be NO. Bad blood in the past?
WaPo...Pelosi has also all but decided she will not name the ranking Democrat on the House intelligence committee, Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.) to chair that panel next year, a decision pregnant with personal animus.
"Pelosi has nursed a well-publicized grudge against her fellow California Democrat because she believes Harman has not been a tough enough critic of President Bush on security matters, while using her ties to the influential American Israel Public Affairs Committee to lobby for the chairmanship," Shailagh Murray and Juliet Eilperin reported for the Post last week.
