1. No, I'm sorry but Precious Leader and Darth Cheney don't do oaths.

Never have. Not the 9/11 Commission, not this investigation.
They don't do no stinking oaths. Cuts back on prosecution for perjury.

5. Bush wouldn't even talk to the 9-11 commission unless Cheney was present
What a disgusting display of spinelessness and duplicity.

Take the House in '06 and immediately subpoena this hereditary nobody of a creep. Put him under oath immediately and have at least 3 video cameras turning.

7. Here's a citation...and more:
"...not under oath."

'Times' reporter tells jury of additional conversation USAToday, Posted 10/11/2005, Updated 10/13
...
Fitzgerald has been looking into whether any law was broken when someone leaked to reporters the identity of Wilson's wife, CIA officer Valerie Plame. Among others whom he and the grand jury have questioned: Libby and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove, who is due to appear before the grand jury again, possibly as soon as Friday. Both President Bush and Cheney have also been interviewed by Fitzgerald and his investigators, though not under oath.
...


In answer to the natural followup question:

Rove's Nightmare by Joe Conason, Salon, 10/7/2005
...
On Oct. 24, 2003, the Washington Post reported that Rove and McClellan, among dozens of others, had submitted to FBI interrogation about the leaks. Two months later, the Post quoted administration officials saying that Rove had been among the very first people to be interviewed by the FBI in pursuit of information about the case.

Back then, Rove might well have assumed that the case would be buried without any undue inconvenience to him. The president had publicly predicted, after all, that the perpetrators of the leak were unlikely to be identified. There was no reason, at the outset, to think that an independent-minded prosecutor would take over from Ashcroft a few months later.

If Rove told the FBI agents the same story that he and McClellan were telling the press, then he might have set himself up for a felony charge of lying to a federal law enforcement official. And if he lied, then he need not have been under oath to have committed a crime.
