I’m sure it was nice while it lasted

After six years without any oversite Congress is finally going to start investigating the White House.

Evidence continues to mount that the new Democratic majority plans to investigate the war, energy policy, and other Bush policies, as key committees have begun hiring lawyer-investigators whose job will be to probe the administration. In the House, for example, the Appropriations Committee under Rep. John Murtha’s direction is hiring investigators who will be charged with looking into the administration’s war policies and spending in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Hallelujah!
