And we will believe them?  Yeah, right.

What a bunch of irresponsible, lying chickenshits!

And while we are at it, why weren't Libby, Armitage, and Rove tried and hung for treason in the Valerie Plame matter?

White House to allow Rove, Miers to be interviewed in firings of U.S. attorneys
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The White House will allow the president's top political adviser, Karl Rove, and former White House counsel Harriet Miers to be interviewed by congressional committees investigating how the firing of several U.S. attorneys was handled, but they will not testify under oath in the matter, Rep. Chris Cannon said Tuesday.

The announcement came after current White House counsel Fred Fielding met with members of the heads of the House and Senate Judiciary committees, who had considered using subpoenas to force Rove, Miers and their two deputies to reveal what they knew about the reasons behind the firings of at least seven U.S. attorneys.

But Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., told reporters after the meeting with Fielding that the offer from the White House is incomplete: "We would be able to interview the four people we requested ... but only in private, not under oath and with no transcript."

Schumer said lawmakers would try to get tougher requirements for the interviews. And he and House Judiciary Committee head Rep. John Conyers both said their committees will move forward to approve the use of subpoenas to get White House officials to testify under oath.

That would not mean that subpoenas would be issued immediately, only that the committees would be able to use them. (Posted 3:16 p.m.)
