Do you think the Senate may call Powell to testify?
It seems that as the Senate Armed Services Committee is investigating the Abu Grahib scandal, it is not beyond the bounds of reason to request testimony from Secretary Powell.

He said those ICRC reports were seen by the White House in December and that the President was briefed on it. Shouldn't he provide some knowledge not only on the US's practice of the Geneva Conventions?

I'm going to call the Dem and Repub (Graham, Warner and McCain) offices tomorrow to suggest it. May be ultimately futile, but after one of the hardest days in a long long time since this catastrophe known as the Bush administration took office, I need to flex a bit of democratic muscle.

2. The only thing getting done in Washington anymore
are hearings and investigations about one thing or another that is in some way attributable to some failed bush policy, plan, or outright mistake.
