Subpoenas force talks for testimony deal

By LAURIE KELLMAN, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON -

A Senate Republican offered President Bush a compromise Thursday in
the standoff over the dismissals of federal prosecutors, suggesting
that select lawmakers question Karl Rove and other administration
officials in public, but not under oath.

White House counsel Fred Fielding promised to convey the offer to
Bush, said Sen. Arlen Specter, who took the first step toward
brokering a deal a few hours after the Senate Judiciary Committee
approved but did not issue subpoenas for Rove and others.

Specter's plan would grant one of Bush's key demands

Specter is so used to rolling over for Bush, that he thinks he's in a
position to "negotiate." He's not. He's just another Republic pol who
can't seem to understand he's not making the rules any more.

Put these people under oath, in public, on the record. Period.
