Ooooo...two posts almost back to back asking the same question. Are we listening to 'Airhead America' over the internet?

*** difference does it make? You put someone under oath and ask them questions and they say, "5th amendment." So what have you gained?
Grow up!!!!!!

I have a gut feeling about this.

If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear

Isn't that what bush and his right wing conservatives retorted about the wire tapping???

It is a uncomfortable position to be in Straddling A FENCE

Bush can make the argument that his offer to have the testimony in private is to protect executive privilege. What's the legal argument for not having witnesses under oath and not having a transcript?

How's come he hasn't claimed executive privilege for all the other executive officials who regularly testify before Congress?

I suppose if Petraeus comes back with a negative report on Iraq he'll pull out the executive privilege card again.

I HOPE EVERY AMERICAN AND ALL OUR ELECTED ARE GOING TO READ THIS, AND SEE THAT THIS ADMINASTRATION JUST KEEPS LAUGHING IN OUR FACES.WHILE THOUSANDS OF OUR TROOPS STILL DIE.
Last December, when Bush rebuffed a bipartisan exit strategy presented by the Iraq Study Group, he said he would leave the decision to withdraw from Iraq to his successor.

That question is "not going to face this government," Bush said, chuckling slightly at a news conference with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, "because we made up our mind. We've made that part clear. It'll face future governments. There will be future opportunities for people to say, 'Well, it's not worth it. Let's just retreat.' "

Since then, nearly 700 more American soldiers have died in a war that has now lasted more than four years, lost the lives of more than 3,600 U.S. troops, cost $10 billion a month -- and cost Republicans control of the House and Senate.

Clinton still holds the record for invoking executive privilege. Read it and weep! :)

"Thank you for your understanding," she added

Are you sure they were understanding?
It doesn't sound to me like they were understanding.
I have a gut feeling about this.
