Senator Stevens of Alaska ACTIVELY BLOCKED attempts on the part of the Dems to call for the testimony to be under oath. It seems to me that having the oil execs testify under the same conditions as EVERYONE ELSE who stands before Congress would make them look guilty in the court of public opinion. It also seems to me that if they aren't under oath it gives them the perfect excuse if they're caught in a lie (well, it's not perjury, so it doesn't count....)
I would have to agree: definitely revolting.
ReplyDeleteWhat was the point of having them come in at all? A photo op?
ReplyDeleteWhy not just send Mister Bush on another trip to the Gulf states?
I'm certain they're talking abou profit margins.
