What is the deal with the State Department and the Justice Department refusing to send representatives to or supply information about Halliburton/KBR in the Jamie Leigh Jones inquiry? Think Progress reports that the State Department ignored Sen. Bill Nelson’s Dec. 21 deadline to respond to questions:
“Shortly after the news broke, Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) wrote to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice “requesting details on how many Americans in Iraq had reported being sexually assaulted or abused, how they were investigated, and if any had been recommended for prosecution.â€? He gave the State Department a deadline of Dec. 21 to respond. Yet according to Nelson’s office, the senator has not yet received any response.”
Hmmm…back in the olden days when I learned about the Constitution, I think that was called contempt.
