Henry Waxman asking the tough questions

[dfitzsim]

Henry is trying to hold Condoleeza Rice's feet to the fire. The question is will she answer his questions or round-file it like his previous set?

Either way, the heat is being turned up on this poor excuse for a National Security Advisor.

If you haven't seen this letter before, it's a must read:

1. The October Surprise is really the bigger issue

(at least to me...)

By deceiving Congress, they were able to terrorize the legislature into giving them their war. Since this was based on claims known to be false, that's gotta be some kind of crime. Lest we forget, this was carefully manufactured and timed right before an election, an election where one jeopardized one's political future by not allowing a spurious war against a non-enemy under the guise of "self defense".

Isn't this just too big to go away? How can this be contained? I know there's a might effort afoot within the media to marginalize this, but this is complete subversion of the Constitution.

2. "Con" diliar will continue to be shielded by the Chimpster

In any case, they're both history after the 2004 elections.

4. Read it, heed it

Then contact your representative and ask whether or not they know about Waxman's questions, and if they think Ms. Rice should answer them. If your Congress critter is Repub, so much the better! Any resolutions or investigations must originate with a Republican if they are going to get on the calendar, so ask him or her: What are you doing to find out the truth on this matter? Thousands of people have died, including hundreds of servicemen and women. Don't we owe their families the truth, at the very least?
