Looks to me like a BIG mistake to offer to let Karl Rove and Harriet Miers testify about the U.S. Attorney firings, but insist that they not be under oath. Wonder what he was thinking? Even Karl Rove should know better than to give that type of ammunition to the dems. That even sounds rotten to me - and I don't think that any of this should be a big deal to begin with.

I fully understand and agree with the idea that it be in private and away from the cameras. That's the only way to stop all of the political grandstanding that the Congressional pricks do. But to insist that they not be sworn in would make it appear to ANYONE that they were intent on giving misleading testimony at best, or lying at worst. Good grief... :???:

Bush Warns Dems to Take Offer in Firings

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush warned Democrats Tuesday to accept his offer to allow top aides to testify about the firings of federal prosecutors only privately and not under oath, or risk a constitutional showdown from which he would not back down.

"We will not go along with a partisan fishing expedition aimed at honorable public servants," Bush said in a statement from the White House. "I proposed a reasonable way to avoid an impasse."

He added: "There's no indication ... that anybody did anything improper."

Democrats' response to Bush's offer was swift and firm. "Testimony should be on the record and under oath. That's the formula for true accountability," said Patrick Leahy, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee:

Bush gave his embattled attorney general, Alberto Gonzales, a boost during an early morning call to his longtime friend and ended the day with a public statement repeating it. "He's got support with me," the president said.
