The NYT on secret testimony

my understanding was that this step was only preliminary to public hearings under oath with transcript... if not, then i have serious problems...

The House Judiciary Committee has begun conducting closed-door interviews with some of the key officials involved in the Bush administration’s purge of United States attorneys. The interviews may be harmless as long as they are merely a first step in the investigation. But they must not become a substitute for what this investigation really requires: sworn public testimony under oath by Karl Rove, the presidential adviser; Harriet Miers, the former White House counsel; and everyone else involved.

i have great faith in john conyers... i hope it's not misplaced... i know that big tent democrat over at talkleft has some serious concerns...

Why in Gawd's name was this deal struck? There is not even an executive privilege claim here. What am I missing? This seems supremely stupid to me.

let's see what happens...
