Former Under Secretary of Defense Douglas Feith had agreed to testify before a House Judiciary subommittee on interrogation techniques used on detainees, but when June 18 rolled around, Feith was nowhere to be found.
In response subcommittee chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) has announced that he will consider issuing a subpoena to force Feith’s testimony at a subcommittee meeting tomorrow afternoon.
This is not the first time the House has been forced to issue a subpoena to attempt to compel testimony regarding interrogation techniques. David Addington, Vice President Cheney’s chief of staff, was subpoenaed in early May of this year.
