Congress To Subpoena CIA Officials To Testify About Destroyed Tapes

AP:

In a direct challenge to President Bush, a House panel said Wednesday it has prepared subpoenas to force CIA officials to testify about the agency's secret destruction of interrogation videotapes.

The Justice Department had blocked the officials from appearing at a closed hearing before the panel this week, citing the department's ongoing investigation into the destruction of videotapes of the harsh interrogation of two al-Qaida suspects in 2002. The CIA destroyed the tapes in 2005.

"I don't have confidence in the president. I don't have confidence in the vice president. And I don't have confidence in the Justice Department. That's as simple as I can put it," said Biden, a 2008 presidential contender.

Biden appeared on CNN's "Late Edition." on Sunday 12/16/07

Will Jose Rodriguez implicate the White House for ordering the destruction of the CIA tapes?

Nothing will come of this.Bush and Cheney are "untouchable".
The spineless Democrates will put on a show for everyone,but NO ONE WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE AS USUAL.
BushCo will get away with ALL of their crimes with the "help" of the WIMP Congress.

I was about to congratulate the HuffPo dev team for finally learning how to use Ajax. I thought we were on the verge of a bold new era of no-more-refresh-spamming. alas, it was not to be.

Sorry for being OT again, but thanks for all the great advice on guitars.

Looks like I'm going to be a couple of grands short very soon. :-)

The reason why the HP wanted to change formats is to discourage the brain dead left from making asses out of themselves any more than they already have.

This site has always been funnier than hell to read. It's lacking a lot of substance, but the entertainment value has always been high.

So the Dumbacrat led Congress is going to subpoena CIA officials...blah, blah, blah. They will find a way to screw it up somehow.

But, we can always count on the Dumbacrats to back Bush when it comes to Iraq, this time to the tune of $70 billion.

Some things are just so apparent that you need to say what they are.

So good night to all the brain dead mind numb leftoids here on the HP. You're doing a helluva job getting the Bush backers into Congress.

Try to do better next time, here on the HP.

Good night, losers.

An email from huffpo on the changes:

"we've rolled back - we're going to add that expand all option for users who want it that way
and the refresh will be something you can display when ready so it can still be alive/dynamic,
but not at a neck breaking speed."

"more to come."

We are a country of men, not of laws. The Phony President stole his way into office and he will slink out untouched by even a shred of accountability.

That Skull & Bones is some frat house.

Here we are again ranting and raving, justifiably so, as usual. The politicians won’t listen to us, because they are too lazy or lack intestinal fortitude or they are so afraid that we are fickle and will vote them out of office for doing their job, impeaching the President and Vice-President. Meanwhile our country and its citizenry are denigrated abroad. Our sense of ourselves as Americans erodes as our rights are usurped and the criminals continue to reign with impunity from Congress. But are we any better? We belittle the one candidate on our side for having big funny ears, when it what is between his ears that really matters. I am so over the fact that he has a spindly little body, because I recognize that he has a big heart, and to be blunt he is the only presidential candidate with a set of balls. I am not even going to name him, because every single one on this post knows who I am referring to. What is wrong with us? We are going to vote in the primaries and in the general election and as usual, we are going to get the government we deserve. We are pathetic.

Is impeachment for Cheney a real possibility?

http://wexlerwantshearings.com

Why yes, it is! Join me and 105,000 other Americans who have signed up for impeachment at Congressman Wexler's site in just the past few days.

Enough is enough. Let's bring Cheney to justice.

Let me risk a guess here. No one in the bush administration will be able to recall anything.

At the risk of being a naysayer, I do not care at all for this format.

Hope you'all don't mind, I had to get that out.
