I never said it did - read my first post.
I'm not a senator so I don't know exactly what one does when you find yourself on an oversight committe and you suspect something illegal is happening. If you are supposed to do nothing or write a memo to CYA and then do nothing about the issue at hand then I guess we really don't need oversight committes.
If a democrat was on an oversight committee and had even the faintest notion the Mr Bush was violating the law I'm pretty sure there would be a news conference scheduled where the charges would be presented as fact within 15 minutes of the notion taking form. Since this did not happen I'm a bit skeptical at this point.
But I'm keeping an open mind...... Just ask GottaDiesel
