"Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-CT., accused the White House on Thursday of not only failing to cooperate with the Senate's Hurricane Katrina investigation, but of telling key federal agencies not to turn over documents that he said could have shed light on the botched federal response to the nation's worst natural disaster." The White House of course says it has been giving the committe "unprecedented cooperation" but Lieberman describes the stonewalling in 43 pages of details.
The Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs is running the investigation. The committee's chairwoman, Sen. Susan Collins, R-ME, of course didn't agree and refused Lieberman's request to subpoena the White House, though they did subpoena the Dept of Justice which has been even more uncooperative. At least one Republican agrees with Lieberman. Rep. Tom Davis, R-VA., issued a report in February that was critical of the White House and said last month: "What are they hiding? It must be ugly."
