Ridge should be allowed to testify Byrd says
Senate appropriations chair Robert Byrd blasted the Bush administration for blocking Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge from testifying before Congress. He argued the move withholds a full view of the White House anti terrorism strategy, leaving the nation and Congress to learn in piecemeal fashion.
