There were two separate committee hearings on Wednesday, February 13th. One was Roger Clemens testifying before a committee regarding whether he used steroids 10 years ago. A lot of media were there, if you didn't notice. A lot of cranky old Republicans, too, who have made this their pet project (and to a lesser extent, Democrats). This is probably what you heard about repeatedly throughout the day by the major media outlets. It's important, isn't it? Maybe, to a certain extent.
But there was another hearing that was much, much more important. Condoleeza Rice testified before an intelligence committee as well. Congressman Wexler asked Rice if she had ANY information prior to the war in Iraq that would have suggested that Iraq DID NOT have weapons of mass destruction.

Rice said "NO."
She said "NO." Under oath. She lied. Under oath. Here's the proof.
Need more? Here's more proof.
She lied through her teeth to the intelligence committee.
Does this upset you? Is this ENOUGH to warrant further investigations into just how far the Bush administration has corrupted our country and crapped on our constitutional rights? HOW MUCH is enough?
Want to do something about it? Sign Wexler's petition for hearings.
Then contact your members of Congress.
More on this soon.
