WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic lawmakers on Wednesday subpoenaed Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to testify about a central and later refuted administration justification for the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.

But the administration said it might fight the subpoena, citing a legal doctrine that can shield a president and his aides from having to answer questions from Congress.

"Those matters are covered by executive privilege," said State Department spokesman Sean McCormack, moving toward a possible legal showdown with the Democratic-led Congress.

On a party-line vote of 21-10, the House of Representatives' Oversight and Government Reform Committee approved a subpoena for Rice, which was quickly issued.

Went to college with her ... big republican tool. She will go down with the ship rather than jump off it. The R's were talking about running her against Sen. Harkin just a year ago. How far and fast they fall.

Home of this weekend's famous relays

When she gets cornered, she always does and it is disgusting

It is good.

K&R!

at 11 PM tonight. Let's hope there's more coverage in the morning because the story broke late in the day on Wednesday.

"On a party-line vote of 21-10, the House of Representatives' Oversight and Government Reform Committee approved a subpoena for Rice, which was quickly issued."

So, it was not just authorized where Waxman might use it to force State's hand? Instead, it was absolutely, positively issued?

Awesome :)
