Very fair Finn.
A coupla comments: Drugs & illegals coming into the US are US problems. Guns being smuggled into Mexico is Mexicos' problem.
Here in Ohio meth is becoming a rural nightmare.

Should the Executive Branch be required to hand over any documents the Legislative Branch demands of it? Even if a: they're not relevant to the investigation and/or b: it would run the risk of compromising ongoing operations, thereby risking both national security and individual lives?

I see you don't like when Democrats act like Chaney.

Suppose the Sargeant won't go? I believe they realize by now that they have flogged this poor dead horse long enough, bet Boner won't call the vote, especially after what Issa just admitted.

Well, Holder actually showed up. Rove simply left the country when he was subpoenaed to appear before Congress in the Valerie Plame matter.
