Stonewalling

The Protein Wisdom blog quotes The Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, California Republican Congressman Buck McKeon: “It is nearly unprecedented that the office of the secretary of defense would prohibit a member of the uniformed military from answering direct questions posed by the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.”

Since the attack took place five weeks ago, McKeon said he wanted answers by the close of business Friday.

The committee aide said the chairman also had asked for a briefing on events leading up to the attack, and so far the Pentagon has failed to provide the briefing.

Jeff Goldstein writes, "The President claimed he’d run the most transparent administration ever.  Instead, his tenure has been marred with evasiveness, stonewalling, and cover-ups; and often times, his official version of events, when pressured, have to be “modified” or even rewritten entirely when additional information comes to public light.  So tell the voters, Mr President:  are you hiding something, or are you really just that incompetent?" Jeff has additional recommendations to Mitt Romney to use in tomorrow night's debate. Read them here: http://proteinwisdom.com/?p=44586
