Will the 9-11 Commission issue a subpoena AND go to court if Bush refuses to comply? Has there ever been a more arrogant White House aide than Condy Rice? She makes Haldeman & Erlichman look responsible. A subpoena is just a piece of paper unless a court stands ready to enforce it.

'We're still in the process of complying fully,' said spokesman Scott McClellan." Newsday, 3/6/04.

Or at least they haven't said it isn't OK. Certainly it's anyone's legal right to invoke the Fifth and White House aides should have that right, whatever Bush and Card say. But it's an interesting twist on "cooperating fully with the investigation," no? What you’ve quoted here means that Bush and Card think it’s OK for aides to invoke the Fifth Amendment.

Let's 'forget' this one for the Gipper, boys! Yeah, but why bother pleading the Fifth when you’ve got good old St. Ronnie’s “I forget” defence?

Let’s ‘forget’ this one for the Gipper, boys!
