Harry Reid and Dems to Launch Investigations
This Harry Reid charachter just keeps on looking better and better. If he doesn't watch out he may end up as the Democratic nominee in 2008.
Yahoo! News - Senate Dems Plan Investigatory Hearings
New Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid said Monday his party will launch investigative hearings next year in response to what he said was the reluctance of Republicans to look into problems in the Bush administration.
They said issues that "cry out" for closer investigation, in addition to contracting abuses in Iraq, include the administration's use of prewar intelligence and its reported effort to stifle information about the true cost of the new Medicare prescription drug benefit. Reid also mentioned global warming and the "No Child Left Behind" education program as topics that needed a closer look.
The Democratic-organized hearings would not have subpoena powers, but Dorgan said there are plenty of whistleblowers "anxious to tell their story."
I bet he's right- and thank God we finally have someone leading the Senate Dems who will ask.
