WH blocking yet another investigation

Senators Say White House Blocking Katrina Inquiry
WASHINGTON (Jan. 25) - The White House is crippling a Senate inquiry into the government's sluggish response to Hurricane Katrina by barring administration officials from answering questions and failing to hand over documents, senators leading the investigation said Tuesday.

In some cases, staff at the White House and other federal agencies have refused to be interviewed by congressional investigators, said the top Republican and Democrat on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. In addition, agency officials won't answer seemingly innocuous questions about times and dates of meetings and telephone calls with the White House, the senators said.

Anyone with eyes and ears knows that the administration didn't give a f'k about what happened during Katrina - hell, bush couldn't even be bothered to even acknowledge that it happened until - what - 3, 4 days after the levees broke? "Heckuvajob" Brownie was more worried about his dinner than the evacuees. There was nothing that this administration did right in the biggest natural disaster in this country in decades.
