Doug Feith is set to testify before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties today at 10 AM ET, to discuss interrogation techniques used on detainees. Feith has a history of not showing up for this Committee, so we’ll see how it goes this time around.
Phillipe Sands, author of “Torture Team,” reported in a recent Vanity Fair article that Feith boasted to him that he was a “real player” in the Guantanamo interrogation policy. Feith later defended himself, saying he’d been misquoted– but Sands countered with the tapes from the interview. Sands will also be before the committee to testify.
We’ll be covering the hearing as it happens, so stay tuned for updates.
