I believe in the weeks, months, years to come with these current oversight hearings that are going on and that have already revealed a systematic agenda of falsehoods promoted by GW to mislead and deceive both the public and Congress- there will be revelations that will knock the socks off some of these old neocons....

Congressman wants McClellan to testify under oath
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former Bush spokesman Scott McClellan should testify under oath on Capitol Hill about his explosive new book in which he sharply criticizes his old boss, a Democratic congressman said Friday.
A book by Scott McClellan, left, has sparked a strong backlash from his former White House colleagues.
Rep. Robert Wexler, D-Florida, said McClellan, who served as the president's press secretary before leaving the White House in 2006, would be able to provide valuable insight into a number of issues that the House Judiciary Committee is investigating.
The committee is looking into the use of prewar intelligence, whether politics was behind the firing of the firing of eight U.S. attorneys in 2006 and the leaking of CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson's identity, Wexler said.
In the book, McClellan wrote that President Bush told him that he had authorized the leaking of Plame Wilson's identity to the press.
"The administration has always called for different kinds of privileges to avoid their officials testifying, but because Mr. McClellan has put all this information in a book, these privileges, I do not believe, would be available to the administration, so we would have a free flow of information," Wexler said.
Wexler is a senior member of the Judiciary Committee
