Democratic Committee requests deposition from Secretary of State over Niger forgeries and Iraq

John Byrne
Friday March 30, 2007


The House Government Committee today formally requested Secretary Rice to testify before the Oversight Committee on Apr. 18th regarding the Bush administration's claims that Iraq sought uranium from Niger, White House treatment of classified information, the appointment of Ambassador Jones as "special coordinator" for Iraq, and other subjects.

Claims that Iraq were seeking uranium from Niger were based on documents that were later proved to be forgeries, and caused ire among Democrats and others who felt the Administration had provided false information to Congress about Iraq in the lead-up to war.

The following letter, sent to the Secretary of State Friday, was acquired by RAW STORY.

2. The gauntlet has been thrown, and the battle is joined ... They're not going away Condi...

These pretenders in the Bush Administration have no idea what Congressional Oversight of the Executive Branch is like.

Welcome is the co-equal branch of government doing its job.

PS. Bring some comfortable shoes!
