1. Condi is absolutely the worst Sec. of State we have ever had
Edited on Sun Feb-03-08 11:53 AM by SpiralHawk
She is not only a readical right-wing republicon homelander, like so many of her ilk -- including her beloved Commander AWOL Bush -- she is grossly incompetent. She is in WAY over her head...

2. waxman got off easy
I wish Moyers had been tougher. Waxman has tabled Sibel and the State Dept. treason for years now. There is no punishment for anything. It's just a show. This is proof we only have one party.

SEE THE ENTIRE HEARING: Administration Oversight VIDEO Hearing Examines Statements Made by GSA Administrator Doan

Administration Oversight Hearing Examines Statements Made by GSA Administrator Doan ......
The Oversight Committee held a hearing on June 13, 2007, to examine statements made by GSA Administrator Lurita Doan that impugn the reputation of federal officials who cooperated with a Committee investigation into Ms. Doan's conduct at the General Services Administration. A preliminary transcript of this hearing is now available. Video of the hearing:

The Case of Lurita Doan and the GSA
http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/blog/2008/02/the_curious_case_of_lurita_doa.html

You may have been familiar with the scrutiny of Blackwater¹s mercenary army, or followed the troubles with oversight at the State Department, but chances are you hadn¹t heard of Lurita Doan. She isn¹t exactly a household name. So it might be surprising that, as head of the General Services Administration, Doan oversees $500 billion dollars worth of federal assets.

On the JOURNAL, Rep. Henry Waxman explains how an investigation that started with leaks about possible favoritism in awarding government contracts eventually uncovered documents and testimony that convinced Waxman that Doan had violated the Hatch Act, a law prohibiting federal employees from using government resources for partisan purposes. Waxman was so shocked by what the Committee found that he took the unusual step of asking Doan to resign at the end of the hearings. The Office of Special Counsel, which conducted a separate investigation of Doan, concluded that Doan should be "disciplined to the fullest extent for her serious violation of the Hatch Act and insensitivity to cooperating fully and honestly in the course of our investigation." Yet today Doan still heads the GSA.

What do you think about the Doan case? Do you think there should be another avenue of recourse for the American people to hold political appointees accountable for their behavior?
