#1 it's easier to be the out-of-power party, bitching and carping about every detail, than it is to actually have to, like, deliver. Ask Hamas

#5 I wonder if the trend will continue of private individuals blowing off congressional subpoenas?

That is, congress has long refused to cite anyone for contempt who tells them they don't want to testify. So when Henry Waxman decides to have some political theater, Halliburton and whoever just sends a "no thank you" on their RSVP.

And there's not a damn thing Waxman can do about it, unless the entire House votes for contempt, and that can take prohibitive amounts of time. It's not a simple resolution. And even with such a vote, it just sends the matter to a federal prosecutor, who quite likely will decide not to prosecute.
