Per Rawstory.com article today...
"By a voice vote, the House Judiciary Committee voted Tuesday morning to compel Vice President Cheney's chief of staff David Addington to testify about his role in approving harsh interrogation tactics at the US Guantanamo Bay prison.
The vote empowers House Judiciary Committee chairman John Conyers (D-MI) to subpoena Addington at his discretion."
One wonders if Pelosi and Conyers are finally finding their backbones?
Is this step the prelude to their holding Impeachment Hearings prior to the Election?
More likely Pelosi and Conyers have this scripted to release tasty tidbits from now until the election, each successive release suggesting that House Democrats really care about accountability and are "just about" to do something that matters... more smoke and mirrors on accountability and impeachment probably,
but we can hope, can't we?
