There Doesn't Seem To Be

Much to argue about this quote, from the NYT Op-Eds today:

The current Congress has shown no inclination to investigate the Bush administration. Last year The Boston Globe offered an illuminating comparison: when Bill Clinton was president, the House took 140 hours of sworn testimony into whether Mr. Clinton had used the White House Christmas list to identify possible Democratic donors. But in 2004 and 2005, a House committee took only 12 hours of testimony on the abuses at Abu Ghraib.

Apparently, this is the major power up for grabs in the mid-term elections. With a simple majority, you can call an investigation that holds the power of subpoena.

I still can't believe the juxtaposition of the White House Christmas List v. Torture in Abu Ghraib.
