Senate panel authorizes subpoenas for Rove, others

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A Senate committee on Thursday authorized subpoenas for White House political adviser Karl Rove and others to testify under oath about the firings of U.S. attorneys.

It's the latest salvo in a bout between President Bush and Congress over whether the officials -- Rove, former White House counsel Harriet Miers, and their two deputies -- should reveal what they know about the firings under oath.

Committee members sparred with Republican Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona, who was questioning the need for Congress to subpoena White House aides to testify under oath and their testimony to be recorded in transcripts.

"These investigations have already hurt good people," Kyl said."We need to be very judicious in exercising our power."

"Subpoenas should be issued by this committee as a last resort and it would be premature to do so now," he said.

7. The limited investigations

haven't hurt good people. They have proven that the White House hurt good people. Naturally, Kyl is defending the White House and not the US Attorneys he pretends to care about.
