Inslee takes leadership role in new Resolution of Inquiry

Congressman Jay Inslee has just notified NPI that he, along with other members of Congress, will be taking the lead in introducing a new resolution of inquiry into the outing of Valerie Plame:
On Thursday morning, U.S. Rep. Jay Inslee (Washington) will join United States Rep. Rush Holt (New Jersey) and other Members of Congress at a press conference to discuss the introduction of a time-limited Resolution of Inquiry into the compromise of the identity of undercover CIA officer Valerie Plame.

The Members will also call for a comprehensive Congressional investigation into the incident and its impact on American intelligence operations.
We are delighted to see that Congressman Inslee is leading the way on this very important issue, which along with the Downing Street Memo, has become a major thorn in Bush's side. The administration is clearly culpable of lying to the American people.

Karl Rove ought to be fired - and not just for his involvement in Plamegate - but he won't be. Bush isn't going to get rid of his deputy chief of staff, which means Bush's prior promise to get rid of anybody who was involved was completely false and dishonest.

Tomorrow's press conference (led by Inslee and Holt) will be from 10:15 am - 10:45 am Eastern Time. It will be at the U.S. Capitol.
