Representative Waxman making waves again

TIPS. This time, it's Waxman providing website space to whistleblowers who want to report Whistleass and his neoconvict cohort.

By creating a “tip line” on his official Web site, Democratic congressman from California Henry Waxman is encouraging current and former U.S. national security officials to come forward and disclose how the administration played with intelligence on Iraq’s alleged weapons of mass destruction and ties to Al Qaeda. A ranking member on the House Committee on Government Reform, Rep. Waxman is making it possible for officials to go on the record or remain anonymous.

...The announcement that Rep. Waxman intends to ask whistleblowers from the Pentagon, the Central Intelligence Agency and other agencies to come forward will be included in a letter to Rep. Tom Davis, the Virginia Republican who chairs the committee.

...The letter will also ask Davis to begin an official investigation of how the name of former U.S. Ambassador Joseph Wilson’s wife, Valerie Plame, was leaked to the media.  article

That investigation sure has gotten stalled, hasn't it? On the other hand, I've seen enough of "official investigations" to know that all too often they're just party politics and ineffective at getting to the truth, much less correcting anything.

Yet there are signs that more and more disgruntled officials, including CIA officers, may come forward in the weeks to come. In The American Conservative , Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski, who has already talked to some reporters, has begun penning a breathtaking account of her year in the Pentagon’s Office of Near East and South Asia affairs, which was headed by Capt. William Luti, a pro-war neocon.

And she better be darned careful, because this group seems to be rather reckless about their vindictiveness. Not to mention falling from tall buildings is currently in vogue for people in the intel community.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
