More on the Oversight Committee hearing
I watched the entire hearing Friday, and it's too bad most of the reporters left when Plame was done testifying, because they missed the more telling testimony. That came during the questioning of James Knodell, head of the White House office of security.
He had to admit – and he did it quietly and reluctantly – that the Administration had not begun a single investigation into Ms Plame’s status and the way her cover was blown, in spite of how sensitive the information was and even though the work she was involved in was important for national security. All in spite of the fact that Bush emphasized how seriously he was taking this, and said he would fire anyone involved.
But clearly no one over there really cared at all, which only show how poorly this Administration is handling security issues.
UPDATE: For anyone who missed it, Crooks & Liars has the video clip. And there was at least one report on this testimony, from E&P.
