Carpetbagger sums it up pretty well.

I appreciate the fact that outrage fatigue is inevitable when dealing with the Bush gang, but this is truly ridiculous. We have American taxpayers financing a private security army, whose members stand accused of slaughtering civilians. The Secretary of State believes no one should ask any questions about this, and those who do must be ignored. It’s pure lunacy.Of course it's all one big Soviet-style state secret, which is not a surprise since we are being brought under a Soviet system. And why not? After all, if more people found out about how Eric Prince's boys behave, they might be opposed to the idea of the same people doing "security" here in the US (New Orleans dry run, anyone?).
The State Department’s cooperation with a congressional inquiry is not optional. Rice can’t simply refuse to divulge information, and ordering others to remain silent is getting fairly close to the obstruction-of-justice line.
