Leopold | Rove, Miers Expected to Testify Before Congress
http://www.truthout.org/082009R?n
Jason Leopold, Truthout: "Back in March, when House Judiciary Committee
Chairman John Conyers announced that he and his staff had reached an agreement
to have Karl Rove and ex-White House counsel Harriet Miers testify privately
about their roles in the firings of nine US attorneys, he said his panel also
reserved the right to haul the former Bush administration officials before
Congress to testify publicly about the matter. Conyers now intends to take
advantage of that prearranged agreement and is expected to call Rove and Miers
to testify before his panel sometime in the fall, according to several
Congressional sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity."
Ridge: I Was Pressured to Raise Terror Alert Level Before '04 Election
http://www.truthout.org/082009K?n
Olivier Knox, Agence France-Presse: "Former US homeland security chief
Tom Ridge charges in a new book that top aides to then-president George W. Bush
pressured him to raise the 'terror alert' level to sway the November 2004 US
election. Then defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld and attorney general John
Ashcroft pushed him to elevate the color-coded threat level, but Ridge refused,
according to a summary from his publisher, Thomas Dunne Books."
