Watch Cafferty Video: Congress vs. White House

When it comes to having Karl Rove and Harriet Miers testify under oath and in public, who's right: the White House or Congress?
In view of this administration's history of secrecy and lack of forthrightness, I come down on the side of transparency and say that Rove, Miers, Gonzales, and others should be required to testify in public and under oath. President Bush's assertion that allowing sworn testimony of his inner circle would ultimately cause the public to be "ill-served" does not ring true to me.
Paul, Jasper, Indiana

Wasn't a member of this administration just found guilty of perjury? You can't assume anyone, especially from this bunch, will tell the truth. Of course they should testify under oath and in public. We, the payers of their salaries, have a right to view any hearings that are held.
Vince, West Chesterfield, New Hampshire

Instead of Congress getting to the bottom of this U.S. Attorney scandal, why don't our congressmen do something more productive? Impeach Bush and Cheney!
Tom, Orlando, Florida

The White House is right, Jack. This is nothing but a witch hunt. No crime was committed. Where was the outrage when Clinton fired 93 of them when he first took office? If I were Bush, I'd fire them all today and really give the Democrats something to whine about for the next 4 years.
Frank, New Cumberland, Pennsylvania

Why all the fuss? America just wants to hear the truth, and the fact that the White House is stonewalling is seeming proof that it has something to hide. Again!

Al Gore says global warming is going to destroy the planet. What are you personally doing about it?
I'm following Australia's lead and switching from incandescent bulbs to fluorescent bulbs.
Mike

Jack, As usual, Al is full of hot air. Global warming is a recipe for socialism. It's the new communism designed to take away more of the rights of Americans and lead to a much bigger bureaucracy. In my opinion, real global warming is cyclical and not man-made. Tell Al to go back to his high-energy consuming mansion among the elites.
Dave, St. Louis, Missouri

What am I doing? I rebuilt my house… new high efficiency doors and windows, new radiant heating system, and lots of insulation. It has saved me a bundle and reduced my energy use by 75%.
Brian

I have changed out all of my incandescent light bulbs with fluorescent ones, recycle everything I can, and am installing a solar-powered water heater. I hope Mr. Gore has done the same at his Tennessee mansion.

Would you want to know if your doctor accepts money and gifts from drug companies?

Knowing is not the most important thing. Creating a health care system in which such actions are not tolerated is. We annually spend billions on drugs of dubious value through a system with few checks and balances on the drug companies' exploitation of Americans.
Alan, Lodi, Wisconsin

No, Jack, I wouldn't. I see nothing wrong with money and gifts. Now if he starts accepting arms and legs, or livers, I'd have some very serious questions for him.
Bruce, Minneapolis, Minnesota

Why should what looks like medical influence peddling be any different than having lobbyists wine, dine and fly our "elected class" around the world?
Ralph, Woodridge, Illinois

Jack, I already know. My doctor does receive money and gifts, and a ton of free samples, from drug companies. I accept that. This is a free market, and I approve of that. I also accept free samples of fried snack foods when I visit Costco on Saturday!
