Congress challenges Bush over CIA tapes By PAMELA HESS and LARA JAKES JORDAN, Associated Press Writers

WASHINGTON - 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.


The House Intelligence Committee's threat marked the second challenge to a White House attempt to shut down independent investigations into the matter, and escalates a fight over which branch of government properly has jurisdiction. On Tuesday, a federal judge rejected an administration effort to keep the courts out of the investigation, and summoned Justice Department lawyers to court on Friday to discuss whether destroying the tapes violated a court order to preserve evidence about detainees.

1. When subpoenas are issued and

enforced, then I will regain my enthusiasm. I cannot stomach getting enthralled with news like this until it actually manifests into direct actions and results.

On the jaded scale from 1 > 10 Give me a 9.3

2. to discuss whether destroying the tapes violated a court order to preserve evidence? AS if there was

ever any doubt.

3. Got a question -- if the subpoenas are ignored,

what is the next step? Props to the plan to do this - but will they really follow through? Other investigations are still in the *waiting for a response* mode. I think they really need to stop being so damned polite to these jerks. Can they haul their asses in?

5. If it ever gets into a Court, the Court can send the fucking Federal Marshals and we'll see who's

complying and who's not.
