Next Waxman Surprise: Hearings On War Profiteers

Submitted by davidswanson on Thu, 2007-05-03 23:03

The US News Political Bulletin has learned Henry Waxman, Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, is planning a broader and deeper series of investigations of the Bush administration than many expect. Waxman, a veteran Democratic representative from California, is already making news by looking into political activities in the Executive
Branch that may run afoul of the law, and the administration's erroneous claims that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction in the run-up to the Iraq invasion.

But Capitol Hill insiders tell the Political Bulletin this is only the beginning. "Waxman is doing a great job of holding his powder and picking his shots," says a strategist with close ties to House Democrats. One of Waxman's next objectives will be not only to examine false claims by administration officials to justify invading Iraq but also to expose people and companies that have profited disproportionately from the war, congressional sources say. Hill Democrats think this line of inquiry will be explosive and will tarnish both the Bush administration and Republicans in general.
