5. I can hardly wait!
Blair ain't the only one that needs to worry. Just think of all the leg work that's already been done. I'll bet my milk money that Conyers knows exactly which way to proceed and in what order he plans to do it in.

Mr Conyers's staff have long been investigating how false information was presented by the Bush administration to persuade the public of the "significant and growing" threat posed by Saddam.

Let's also remember which corrupt repug Conyers will be replacing.....Jim Sensenbrenner - does everyone remember this piece of arrogant crap he pulled in 2005? I do.

wikipedia snip

On June 17, 2005, Sensenbrenner, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, abruptly ended a meeting where Republicans and Democrats were supposed to be debating the renewal of the PATRIOT Act and walked out in response to Democratic members raising issues regarding human rights violations at the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay and the ongoing Iraq war. He ordered the court reporter to halt transcriptions of the proceedings, C-SPAN cameras covering the meeting be shut off, and that discussion on the issue be halted. Sensenbrenner defended his actions by claiming that the Democrats and witnesses had repeatedly violated House Rules in discussing issues he believed to be unrelated to the subject of the meeting. His abrupt walkout was contrary to House parliamentary procedure, which is to adjourn either on motion or without objection. Afterward, the microphones were turned off by Majority Judiciary Counsel
Robert Tracci.

Lots more on this scumbag here: Sensenbrenner
