Senate Iraq Hearings
General David Petraeus is expected to tell Senate Committees that last years surge of troops has helped calm some of the violence in war torn Iraq. But, troops will need to stay through the end of the year. The General testifies in the morning before the Armed Services Committee where John McCain and Hillary Clinton are members. In the afternoon he testifies before the Foreign Affairs Committee where Barack Obama is a member. However, it is not expected that Obama will get a chance to ask questions before 6:30pm EST. General Petraeus testified about the military situation last September. Since that time, support for the war, both publicly and politically, has continued to erode. We will also hear from Ambassador Ryan Crocker about the Iraqi political situation.

Safe to Fly?
Is the flying public at risk due to lapses in aircraft inspections by major airlines? This is one of the concerns being raised on Capitol Hill during a hearing on airline safety. Whistleblowers, the executives from Southwest Airlines and the FAA will all be in the hot seat answering questions about cozy relationships between the airlines and some FAA inspectors. Congress will also address a lack of oversight by the Federal Aviation Administration in managing its own safety programs.
