You've got to love Congressman Henry Waxman. The California Democrat was out there ahead of his colleagues investigating the fat in the President's requested budget for Iraq, and now he's pushing the House Government Reform committee to investigate who leaked the identity of Valerie Plame to Bob Novak. At the same time, investigative journalist Robert Dreyfuss reports in this tompaine piece, Waxman has created a 'tip' line "on his official Web site...[where] current and former U.S. national security officials [can] come forward and disclose how the administration played with intelligence on Iraq’s alleged weapons of mass destruction and ties to Al Qaeda....Rep. Waxman is making it possible for officials to go on the record or remain anonymous."
Got an insidery tip on how the US got Iraq intel so wrong? Report it here.
It's good to see a few people in Congress fulfilling their watchdog role.
