Pentagon tries to block testimony by Walter Reed chief

Think Progress

Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) "is challenging the Pentagon, which is attempting to block the former chief of Walter Reed Army Medical Center from testifying before Congress next week." Waxman wants to ask Maj. Gen. George Weightman about a contract to manage the medical center awarded to a company that had documented troubles fulfilling a contract to aid Hurricane Katrina victims. Waxman's staff has confirmed the congressman has issued his first subpoena to legally compel Weightman's testimony.
