5 Scandals That Could Put Republicans In Jail.

"But in the past six years, congressional investigations of such bold, searching nature have disappeared. In a post-9/11 environment of silence and fear, the mood inside Congress has mirrored the bunkers and barriers outside: No one dares question the military or the intelligence services too closely, or to push the president too far. The Caucus Room continues to be used for party meetings and social events, and every so often there is a potted inquiry, as in the case of the 2003 hearings on the space shuttle. But on issues of war and peace, of corruption and graft, of civil rights, civil liberties, and constitutional breaches, meek questions are the rule, answered by dull assurances from the White House."

1. Who lost Iraq?
2. Who blew 9/11?
3. How wide is the domestic surveillance net?
4. Is Big Oil pulling an Enron?
5. Who's making money off your retirement?
