Melanie Sloan, writing for Buzzflash, wants to know Whatever Happened to the Plame Investigation? We haven't heard an official word about it since Sept. 29th.
Why has the investigation stalled? Is it because the Department of Justice, just as suspected by the Democrats all along, isn't serious about prosecuting the leaker? Is it because George Bush has swept the matter under the carpet? Where are the Congressional hearings that were so common during the Clinton administration? Can anyone seriously doubt if the same events had transpired during the Clinton years there would have been day after day, and month after month of hearings with Congressional leaders clamoring for an independent counsel, with the result that one would have been appointed?
Good questions, all. The inquiry does seem to have been swept under the carpet.
