6. Found it. 10 am.

This morning at 10:00 a.m., the Oversight Committee is holding a hearing to examine the mission and performance of private military contractor Blackwater USA in Iraq and Afghanistan. Erik Prince, the owner of Blackwater, will testify as well as three State Department officials.

The hearing will address three key questions: (1) Is Blackwater's presence advancing or undermining U.S. efforts? (2) Has State Department responded appropriately to the shooting incidents involving Blackwater forces? (3) What are the costs to U.S. taxpayers for the reliance on Blackwater and other private military contractors?

5. Waxman must have tapped the motherlode for corruptions scandal finally.

Issa has been working hard today to:

1) Catapault Blackwater=US military
2) Criticism and oversight=witchunt and MoveOn
3) Blackwater CEO is somehow not subject to being called to testify before congress
4) Issa is for the war but not for the war
5) Move on--- you don't see no blood stains here.

8. Suggest reading TPM on Blackwater

The #2, #3, #4 contributors to the Republican Party happen to be Blackwater owner and his sister's in-laws (DeVos). Also, the financial backbone of the Family Research Council. We really need to get the corruption out of our federal government. It's killing us.
