Waxman on Congressional Oversight
A neat little commentary in Tuesday's WaPo written by CA Democratic Congressman Henry Waxman, comparing Congressional oversight during the Clinton and Bush years.
The article's essence:
Compare the following: Republicans in the House took more than 140 hours of testimony to investigate whether the Clinton White House misused its holiday card database but less than five hours of testimony regarding how the Bush administration treated Iraqi detainees.
Sounds about right.
