It looks like the Holder-Issa powwow failed to stave off a committee vote possibly finding the attorney general in contempt of Congress. Katie Pavlich reports:
The meeting between Attorney General Eric Holder and Chairman of the House Oversight Committee Darrell Issa has ended after 20 minutes of discussion. Holder came with an offer of a briefing on Fast and Furious documents, but did not physically turn over any documents. This is unsatisfactory to Issa who has said repeatedly that in order for Holder to avoid a contempt vote Wednesday at 10 AM, he must hand over 1300 Fast and Furious documents to the committee.
No documents, no peace. The contempt vote was originally scheduled for tomorrow morning, but Holder had hoped to get it postponed.

I'm guilty as charged: in contempt of Holder.

I wish this antagonism was around during the OKC or Waco investigation, but it will have to do if the vote follows tomorrow.

When it comes to the doctors and teacher they are only human and may make a mistake but the public understand this little. The protest has been motivated by greed and selfishness,' he said. 'I cannot understand how a profession who are meant to be so bright can be so stupid. They are incredibly callous. People get extremely wound up and upset about operations which, in some cases, are potentially high risk.' Katherine Murphy, of the Patients' Association, said the protest would impact on 'quality of life', adding: 'This industrial action will have implications long after doctors go back to work.' Patient Tony Cooper, from Somerset, was meant to be having spinal surgery yesterday at Southmead Hospital in Bristol. He was told the day beforehand that it was cancelled. 'I didn't realise how subconsciously I had prepared myself mentally for the operation,' he said. 'It's major surgery, there's a lot of risks involved ‘What’s most frustrating is apparently my surgeon would have been prepared to do the surgery. However, he was unable to find an anaesthetist who wasn't a member of one of the unions to knock me out. 'So somewhere in one of the hospitals in Bristol there's a very highly paid, very clever surgeon unable to carry out his work properly because of the arrogance of the anaesthetist.'
