Via Huffington Post:
A deal has been reached whereby Karl Rove will finally testify, under oath, before the House Judiciary Committee, according to chairman John Conyers' office.
Rove has long avoided and ignored subpoenas in the past by claiming executive privilege -- his deference now comes as a big victory for many Bush administration critics.

Do not get excited about this victory too soon.
This process still has a very long way to go. The incriminating documents still require review prior to Rove being questioned. Then his testimony will be reviewed against those records. Then he will be questioned again. Considering the volumes of paperwork involved it will be months before the gavel is struck.
I am grateful the the two administrations did not have to go head to head at this time on the issue of executive privilege. It will happen in the future but right now I would rather have BHO focused on the major issues affecting us all right now and not distracted by the likes of Rove and his ilk. That would be akin to going to war with Iraq when bin Laden is in another country altogether.
Is it just me or does it seem strange that the State Department got the bin Laden relations out of the country shortly after 9/11 even while the whole US was a not fly zone? Could that have any baring on why we never really pursued Osama to the ends of the earth? Did we use the distraction of the war to placate the bin laden family and not kill their son? Did we spend billions of dollars and 4000 plus American lives as a diversion? Those are the questions I want answered. And prosecuting, believe it or not, Rove may be the first step. Think about it.
