Treasongate creaks open a little wider

Good old Maurice Hinchey. He's been a good friend to drug policy reform and now he's leading a pack of 41 Members of Congress to ask the Plame investigation be expanded to include the information contained in the Downing Street Minutes on the false uranium claims made by Bush in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq.

Poor Fitzgerald is really in the hot seat. I hear he's under a lot of pressure by the GOP powers that be and also read that he was asking the other resolutions, (recently quashed by the GOP in committee) on the DSM be forestalled because they would interfere with his investigation. The two issues are so obviously related. I hope this doesn't mean he's cracking.
