forgotten that they are there as representatives of the American people, not panderers for the bush* administration. Even worse, most of them feel that once they're in Washington, they have the right to look out for themselves first, their constituents second. When that happens, they are no longer representatives of the people who elected them, they are useless hacks feeding off the public payroll.
But the refusal to release the findings now is inexcusable. The senate has a duty to release any and all informatin that they acquire during a tax-payer funded investigation to the public. The thought that they are arrogant enough to think that they have the power to deny us information that is vital to the safety and welfare of OUR country is maddening. It seems that they see the various districts and states they represent as their own little fiefdoms, and that they are little petty rulers who decide what we should be allowed to know, and what they can hide to protect the corrupt administration in power.
Something that republicans (and some democrats) need to understand is that people of all political persuasions pay their salaries. They may not have voted for them, but they are still beholden to everyone that they represent to keep them informed. This country was never meant to be governed under conditions of secrecy and stealth.
