The U.S. House Subcommittee on National Security, Emerging Threats and International Relations held a series of hearings this week that did not receive much play in the news. In fact, I cannot find a single news story about these important hearings. Nor have I been able to find a link to them on the C-SPAN Web site, even though I’ve watched the replay a couple of times on late night and weekend C-SPAN.

Here’s one blog that is talking about it:
The Project on Government Oversight (POGO)

Here’s the subcommittee’s Web site:
U.S. House Subcommittee on National Security, Emerging Threats and International Relations

Here’s the committee press release:
Hearing on Protecting National Security Whistleblowers in the Post-9/11 Era

The upshot of the hearings is that the Bush administration has been trying to silence numerous officials from all branches of the military and intelligence communities who are standing up for the truth about illegal spying and U.S. intel failures before and after 9/11.

Let me know if you see a good news story about this and I’ll throw up the link for all of our readers to see.
