In this June 6, 2007, file photo, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee member Rep. Paul Hodes, D-N.H. asks questions during a committee hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington. Hodes said the recent House legislation shouldn't affect the Pentagon's day-to-day operations, including factual updates on the war given to the press. Rather, the legislation makes clear that Congress won't tolerate behind-the-scenes efforts by the Bush administration to manipulate public opinion, he said. "I hope it inspires the Pentagon to tell the truth," Hodes said of the bill. Associated Press.
