Energy? Testify!
By Justin Gardner | Related entries in General PoliticsSeems like they weren’t too terribly honest the first time around…
Senate Democrats demanded that oil company executives who testified last week about skyrocketing energy prices reappear before lawmakers and testify under oath, after news reports raised questions about the truthfulness of their testimony.Leading oil company executives long have denied taking part in a secretive energy task force run in 2001 by Vice President Dick Cheney, but White House records obtained by The Washington Post refuted that, according to the daily’s editions on Wednesday.
The ad hoc group was tasked with helping develop a national energy policy, but was opposed by environmentalists because there allegedly were no ecologically friendly players on the panel.
The leader of Senate Democrats said the oil company executives who testified last week should be forced to return to Congress to set the record straight regarding their involvement with Cheney’s group.
Why did they feel the need to mislead?
Only time can tell…

It’s not often that I agree with Democrats, but I was PISSED when that Democrat senator made a motion that the exectives be sworn in, and that other guy dismissed her.
Get them in again, and swear them in. I don’t care who was involved in lying, Republican or Democrat, they need to be held accountable.
