. . . to investigate the 1997 incident.
Oh, please!!! It was 7 years ago. Leave it alone. Statute of limitations and all that rubbish.
If this is all our politicians have to do with our money is to play political sniping games, then let them stay home and get real jobs.
This is ludicrous!!!
And, NO, I'm NOT a big Jim McDermott fan. I just think this is a stupid waste of tax dollars.

I just think this is a stupid waste of tax dollars.How? The House members and their staff are paid salaries, not by the hour.

McDermott has put out an urgent fundraising letter that has been linked on DU. Too bad they threw what they had down a rathole on phony ballot issues. They're tapped.

NO! It's called accountability. Better to start with a person who was willing to cow-tow to Saddam - and totally destroy the guy's credibility.

Oh, please!!! It was 7 years ago. Leave it alone. Statute of limitations and all that rubbish. From the article:
U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan concluded earlier this year that McDermott was responsible for the leak...
Looks as though the House was, reasonably, waiting for the court system to issue a finding before proceeding with an 'internal House matter'. It would be unseemly, and honestly presumptious, to issue an ethics ruling with a case pending in Federal court. Now that there has been a finding of fault in this case, the House has grounds to pursue the ethics complaint.
