Seeking Subpoenas: McCain v. * - Iraq Intel probe
http://www.thehill.com/news/030404/mccain.aspx

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is pushing the White House to give subpoena power to the independent commission President Bush created last month to investigate intelligence operations.

The administration has turned him down, but the senator is refusing to take no for an answer.

The clash reignites a bitterness first sparked when Bush and McCain fought for the GOP presidential nomination in 2000.

Bush initially opposed creating the commission, but, under pressure from Democrats and some Republicans, he signed an executive order Feb. 6 to form the nine-member commission.

More at link.

(guess he should have offered him the VP spot)

1. "revenge is a dish, best served cold?"
:evilgrin:

This can be a win/win for McCain. He can be the Repub elder statesman, expose Bush and his hypocrisy. What are the Repubs going to say/do to him?
