Lieberman: White House hindering Katrina probe

Lieberman is switching sides again? He's acting like a Democrat now. Although I have to hand it to him. He doesn't always follow the party line. He strikes out on his own when he feels like it, Which I like. Although I don't agree with some, ok most, of his points, I respect him.

CNN.com writes:

The White House is dodging questions about Hurricane Katrina response and has instructed other agencies to join it in fending off investigators, Sen. Joseph Lieberman said on Tuesday. The White House denies the allegations.

Lieberman went so far as to suggest that the Department of Homeland Security is trying to kill the investigation.

"My staff believes that DHS has engaged in a conscious strategy of slow-walking our investigation in the hope that we would run out of time to follow the investigation's natural progression to where it leads," Lieberman said. "At this point, I cannot disagree."

The Connecticut senator, who is the ranking Democrat on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, further said no real reason is being given for the administration's reticence.

The White has come out recently and stated Executive privilege for just about everything. Which suprises no one.
