Bush Still Refuses To Share "Continuation Of Government" Info With Congress

Last month the White House refused to provide information to Rep. Peter DeFazio a senior member of the House Homeland Security Committee. That information is how the government would continue should a catastrophic attack on the country occur. Sounds like the kind of thing that committee should know, and seeing as how they have all signed a secrecy oath it should be no problem.

Ah, but I forgot we were dealing with the Bush White House. No information on this plan is being shared with anyone. Our government has become a mysterious black box controlled by the Executive Branch and whatever imaginary branch of government Dick Cheney belongs to this week.

DeFazio wrote another letter formally requesting details and was again rebuked again Wednesday with an almost off handed, "[we are] unable to share them with the membership and staff of the Committee." White House homeland security adviser Frances Townsend will be hearing more from the Committee soon as they try to pry this information from the hands of the White House.
