Democrats Criticize Bush Administration Handling of Corruption in Iraq

At a hearing today for the Government Oversight committee, Democrats criticized Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on being vague about corruption and contractors in Iraq. Rice took heat for not denouncing out-right an order made by Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. In that order, Maliki demands that he give approval to any corruption investigation of high-ranking ministry officials – including himself. Rice claimed the information was all new to her. Karen Miller has more.
