House votes to subpoena Addington.»

This morning, the House Judiciary Committee voted to subpoena David Addington, Vice President Cheney’s chief of staff, to compel him to testify about the administration’s interrogation programs. He has said he will agree to testify if subpoenaed. The AP also reports that John Yoo, author of legal memos that sanctioned torture, has reversed course and agreed last night to testify before the committee as well, along with Douglas Feith and former Attorney General John Ashcroft. Former CIA Director George Tenet “is still in negotiations with the committee, according to House Judiciary Committee spokeswoman Melanie Roussell.”

1. Meaningless unless they tell me what they're gonna do if/when he ignores the subpoena.

2. My hope is that they'll hem and haw like they do on the rest of them

because as long as Stupid holds pardon power, even using inherent contempt to put these bastards in prison where they belong is futile.

Look at Libby.
