Separation of Powers?

From Dan Gillmor's Weblog comes the following quote. One has to wonder, if Congress isn't allowed to investigate spending, who IS?

  • Knight Ridder: Rumsfeld to restrict senators' access to documents in Boeing deal. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has sharply limited the information he is willing to let Congress see on a controversial defense contract that is the focus of multiple investigations. Rumsfeld took a hard line even with fellow Republicans who want information from him about a proposed $23 billion deal for the Air Force to buy and lease 100 Boeing 767 aerial refueling tankers. Rumsfeld's refusal to give senators all the materials they requested could provoke a rare congressional subpoena.
