re: House Oversight committee says new evidence contradicts White House uranium claims

An addendum to our story: We have to respectfully ask: Why is the House Oversight committee still investigating this? They and the rest of Congress failed in their duty to provide proper oversight during the entire rush to war, and now are spending time going thru motions on this to burnish a reformist legacy. While this was an important matter, it's now fairly a moot one, as we went to war, the WMD claims were proven false, and the administration and Republican party paid the price by losing the election. So, we ask, what oversight is the Oversight committee failing to exercise now on matters that they can still impact? There's an opportunity cost to everything, and this doesn't seem like the smartest use of oversight authority and resources.
