It's June 2004. Do you know where your President is? Democrats, not surprisingly, think much more scrutiny is necessary and have been complaining for months that Republican leaders in Congress are refusing to hold its allies in the administration accountable on many subjects. Now, even some Republicans say they worry that Congress is abdicating its oversight responsibility. "I believe our failure to do proper oversight has hurt our country and the administration," said Representative Christopher Shays, a Republican, who traveled to Iraq to view the situation. "Maybe they wouldn't have gotten into some of this trouble had our oversight been better."
