Empowered Democrats examine Bush administration« Thread Started on Feb 11, 2007, 3:07am » --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Empowered Democrats examine Bush administrationPublished: Sunday, 11 February, 2007, 08:33 AM Doha Time WASHINGTON: Recently empowered US congressional Democrats are pounding President George W Bush with their most feared new weapons – the ability to hold hearings and compel testimony.In recent days, Democrats have used hearings to accuse his administration of twisting intelligence on Iraq, cry foul over the firing of federal prosecutors and question the sanity of anyone who would send 363 tonnes of cash – $12bn worth – into a war zone.“I think the American people are now seeing how Congress should operate, with congressional oversight hearings,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat.Since taking control of Congress last month, Democrats have turned the US Capitol upside down. With dozens of hearings, they have searched for administration skeletons and looked for possible fraud, waste or abuse of power in such matters as homeland security, disaster relief and global warming.
