Wouldn't You Love to Sneak a Peek at these Papers?

"Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich (D-OH) today introduced a Resolution of
Inquiry to demand the White House turn over all white papers, minutes,
notes, emails or other communications kept by the White House Iraq
Group (WHIG).

'This group, comprised of the President and Vice President's top aides,
was critical in selling the Administration's case for war,' stated
Kucinich. '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.'

A Resolution of Inquiry is a rare House procedure used to obtain
documents from the Executive Branch. Under House rules, Kucinich's resolution
is referred to committee, and action must be taken in committee within
14 legislative days." --press release from Kucinich's office, Friday
