House arms panel a lapdog not watchdog says Harrington
Rep Michael Harrington a junior member of the House Armed Services Committee charges the panel with acting like a lapdog rather than a watchdog over the military. He cites a 27 to 4 vote approving a 21.3 billion weapons bill and criticizes secret sessions and reliance on Pentagon lines. He claims waste duplication and flawed programs have been ignored and that the committee has abandoned its watchdog role for a meek stance toward defense interests.
