Storm brewing over control of Katrina review panel
Storm brewing over control of Katrina review panel: "Congressional Democrats and Republicans are facing off over the nature of a commission probing how governments at all levels failed to prepare for and respond to Hurricane Katrina.
Democrats are stepping up their demand for an independent committee to investigate the botched relief effort, calling for a panel modeled somewhat along the lines of the 9/11 Commission.
Rejecting the notion of an independent panel, this afternoon the GOP-controlled House is scheduled to vote on the creation of a congressional committee to review state, local and federal response to the disaster. The panel will have 11 Republicans and nine Democrats, and it was not clear Wednesday night if Democrats would have any subpoena power."
