Kucinich & the WHIG

Yesterday Rep. Dennis Kucinich introduced a "Resolution of Inquiry" demanding the White House deliver to Congress the records, notes, etc. of the White House Iraq Group (WHIG).

Kucinich said, "This group, comprised of the President and Vice President's top aides, was critical in selling the Administration's case for war, We now know that the Administration hyped intelligence and misled the American public and Congress in their effort to 'sell' the war. After over 1,900 American troops have been killed in Iraq, it is long past time for this Congress to ask serious questions about WHIG and its role in the lead up to the war. For two-and-a-half years Congress has sat on the sidelines neglecting its oversight responsibility when it has come to Iraq. We owe it to the American people to hold this Administration accountable and to find out the truth."

How vastly different this country - and world - would be if Kucinich had won the nomination and the presidency.
