How do you expect Congress to get more knowledgeable? On the face of it, asking questions of knowledgeable people sounds like a reasonable response, as does asking involved parties for their version of the events. I'm not saying Congress is particularly effective in general, but I think it's reasonable that they should investigate whether to get involved, rather than just leaving everything in the hands of the same parties who created the situation in the first place. If we want a better-informed Congress, then we need to meet them half-way and help guide them from ignorance to knowledge when they ask for it.
