Former White House adviser Karl Rove and former White House Counsel Harriet Miers have agreed to testify before the House Judiciary Committee, ending a months-long legal separation-of-powers battle between Congress and the administration.

Rove and Miers will not testify in public but in transcribed depositions under penalty of perjury. Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.), who chairs the Judiciary panel, reached an agreement with Rove and Miers Wednesday.

3. what part of "under penalty of perjury" don't you understand?

All they have to do it catch them in a lie... one lie.. and it doesn't say the transcripts won't be made public.
