Nancy Pelosi Charges Katrina Cover-up
After complaining that President Bush was dangerously "oblivious" as Hurricane Katrina victims suffered, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is now warning that the Republican-controlled Congress is mounting a full-blown cover-up of alleged Bush administration bungling.
Pelosi told reporters Thursday that Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist plan to organize a "sham committee" to "whitewash" FEMA's response to the disaster.

"There has to be an honest assessment," the San Francisco Democrat declared. "We owe these people the truth," she added.
Escalating her rhetoric even further, Pelosi said that FEMA is now run by a group of "political
hacks."
The top House Democrat said she favors an independent commission along the lines of a 9/11-style probe - despite recent revelations showing that the panel covered-up important evidence suggesting the 9/11 attacks could have been prevented.
