Speaking of Subpoenas

John Yoo says he'll testify before Congress without a subpoena. I'm sure he won't lie or obfuscate or duck any questions.

And then there's Cheney's Cheney.

By a voice vote, the House Judiciary Committee voted Tuesday morning to compel Vice President Cheney's chief of staff David Addington to testify about his role in approving harsh interrogation tactics at the US Guantanamo Bay prison.

The vote empowers House Judiciary Committee chairman John Conyers (D-MI) to subpoena Addington at his discretion.

Yeah, that'll work, as it has done so well in the past.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.

"Harsh interrogations."

Complete Immunity

Speaking of the Big Dick…

Last spring, Cheney asserted that he wasn't subject to executive-branch rules about classified information because he wasn't actually part of the executive branch.

Now his office argues that he and his staff are completely immune from congressional oversight. That's right: Completely immune.

Cheney's latest claim came in a response to a House Judiciary Committee request for vice presidential chief of staff David S. Addington to testify about his central role in developing the administration's torture policies.
