Rove refuses call to testify under oath

He's a civilian now; what's preventing the House from physically hauling his ass in to chat? I would so love to see that. :mad:

Rove refuses call to testify under oath

By Ben Evans • The Associated Press • May 13, 2008



WASHINGTON -- A House Judiciary Committee deadline passed Monday with former White House adviser Karl Rove standing by his refusal to testify about allegations that he pushed the Justice Department to prosecute former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman.

In his latest offer to settle the matter, Rove sent the panel a letter offering to respond to questions in writing, according to his attorney. But he reiterated that he would not testify publicly and under oath.

Committee leaders did not immediately answer questions about how they will respond. Earlier this month, they threatened to subpoena Rove if he did not agree to appear voluntarily by Monday.

The dispute is the latest in a standoff between President Bush and Congress over testimony from current and former White House staffers on a variety of issues.

The White House has balked at requests for staff testimony, arguing that the administration has no obligation to respond to congressional demands for the details of internal deliberations.

And if so, can he be sent to Gitmo?

in front of every TV camera in the country.

they won't force him. I would myself dearly love to see the Capitol police sent after him--isn't that the police force Congress would use?

They must or America is toast.
