Bill Moyers tonight: A years-worth of hearings held by the House Committee on Oversight

[malaise]

BILL MOYERS JOURNAL looks back at a years-worth of hearings held by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, the investigative arm of the House, and speaks with the Committee Chair, Representative Henry Waxman, about the Committee's role in the government:

"It's almost like having a policeman on the beat. If no one thinks they're being watched and being held accountable, they think they can get away with anything."

THE JOURNAL highlights just a few of the hundreds of hearings Congress holds each year.

5. Why is Doan still there? I thought that when Henry Waxman was going to chair the Oversight Committee

so many people would be waiting in line to go to prison. Meanwhile, he might have the hearings, but no bite. This is a great disappointment to me.
