Yesterday, Robert Gates, Bush's nominee to replace Rumsfeld as Defense Secretary, breezed through his Senate panel hearings. In all likelihood he will be confirmed by the full Senate later this week.
In yesterday's hearings, it seems that nobody bothered to ask the tough questions.
Meantime, however, two people who worked with Gates at the CIA went on Democracy Now yesterday to discuss their former colleague's questionable record, in Iran Contra and beyond. And host Amy Goodman, as always, did ask the tough questions. [Read the transcripts or download the program.] It's well worth checking out.
