By ANNE FLAHERTY, Associated Press Writer 12 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - The House passed a resolution on Tuesday condemning the State Department for its refusal to divulge public details on Iraqi corruption in a new showdown with the Bush administration over the war and its classification policies.

"The Bush administration is hiding the truth while seeking hundreds of billions of dollars and placing our troops in danger. And we cannot allow this to happen," said Rep. Henry Waxman, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

"Five years ago abuse of the classification system got us into this war. It's time for this abuse to end," Waxman said.

<...>

Several Republicans called it a political stunt, but voted for the measure anyway.
