Congress Must Investigate Intelligence Failures

Redding, MA (PRWEB) July 27, 2003 -- Radio talk show hosts Ben Tafoya and Dennis Tafoya, called today for Congressional investigations into the ever growing intelligence failures related to war in Iraq. Ben Tafoya commented, We are speaking this week with Bob Dreyfuss of The Nation about the overly rosy predictions about conditions in post-war Iraq. He speaks about how the cosy relations with Ahmad Chalabi and the Iraqi National Congress. Congress owes us an explanation on the source of the false data on WMD, Uranium and post war conditions."

Tafoya added The Administration and the Republicans in Congress have refused countless efforts in recent weeks to get to the bottom of these issues. Are we going to find out twenty years from now that the White House national security team knew all about the lies but are letting Tenet and Hadley take the fall? Just like Jeb Magruder on Watergate today?"

Ben Tafoya and Dennis Tafoya are brothers and co-hosts of The Emerging Majority, the radio program adding a politically progressive voice to metro Boston. The program broadcasts on WBNW AM 1120 (Boston/Concord) and WPLM 1390 AM (Plymouth) Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays at 5 pm and can also be heard on the internet using RealPlayer at www.TheEmergingMajority.com.

The show also features weekly interviews of writers and activists from the progressive community.
