Ryan demands classified briefing on Obama's ISIS plan

House Speaker Paul Ryan has requested a classified briefing for all members of Congress in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Paris last week.

Ryan, R-Wis., told the Bill Bennett radio show Monday morning that he is seeking "the facts" from the Obama administration about how it plans to combat the growing threat of terrorism, which he called "a war."
