The Secretary of State -- and a bunch of other Bushies -- have been subpoenaed. Lying is so ingrained in the psyche of the Bush team, will they get that whole thing about telling the truth because they're under oath?:
A federal judge today ordered Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and more than 10 other prominent current and former government officials to testify at the criminal trial of two pro-Israel lobbyists accused of violating the Espionage Act.What are the chances any of that crowd actually testify? This case could get very interesting. Very.
The ruling from U.S. District Judge T. S. Ellis III in Alexandria directs that subpoenas be issued to officials including Rice, National Security Adviser Stephen J. Hadley, former high-level Department of Defense officials Paul D. Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith and Richard L. Armitage, the former deputy secretary of state.
They were directed to testify on behalf of Steven J. Rosen and Keith Weissman, former employees of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, who are scheduled to go on trial Jan. 14 in U.S. District Court in Alexandria.
