Congressional Oversight: Hindsight or Foresight?
With all the hearings going on about 9/11, Abu Ghraib, leaked memos, etc., and Congress justifying the hearings under the umbrella of their "oversight" responsibilities, then why hasn't their "oversight" prevented these these things from happening? Instead, they seem to be reacing to events in hindsight, not foresight.
Some oversight, huh?

This seems like an endless topic ripe for ridicule. Normal congressional hearings should be included as well.
Some of the regular features would be:
1. False accusations or erroneous comments
2. Members who had absolutely no substance or value in their comments. We might pick the blowhard of the meeting.
3. Basic questions not asked
4. Real purpose of the hearing
On the other hand, if it real, we would point out some of the good points that came out of the session.
The 9/11 Commission would be a ripe political satire. It is so eggregious that even the networks can't hide the hypocrisy.
