Don't let congress get away with closed hearings
Edited on Mon Jan-02-06 04:14 PM by shraby
on the wiretapping! Let your congresscritters know you want open hearings. We have a right to know exactly what went on. It was mentioned on a talk show that they would probably have closed hearings. That's not acceptable!

5. I want open hearings as well. No doubt though, parts of it will
HAVE to be in closed session.

7. Senators Lugar, Hagel and Graham were
talking about it on various shows. I think it was Lugar who mentioned closed hearings. I would guess it will be the Senate Judiciary that will hold them.
