Senator McCain has long been poking around on the Pentagon's expensive and shady tanker deal. SecDef Rumsfeld has promised the Pentagon's full cooperation in the investigation. McCain has just written Rummy a letter detailing what that cooperation looks like so far:
As you know, in the Commerce Committee, I first requested documents regarding the proposal in June 2003. Regrettably, since then the DoD’s production of documents has been riddled by disruption, obfuscation and delay. Some documents that were produced were doctored2; others that should have been produced, were improperly withheld.3 To date, after months of assurances, partial production on only about 7 out of 36 request categories have been produced.
