before Congress about Siegelman case --Former Bush adviser tells
House panel he'll answer questions in writing 12 May 2008 Former
White House political adviser Karl Rove has declined a request to
testify before Congress about the criminal case against former Gov.
Don Siegelman and instead made a counteroffer to answer questions
in writing, Rove's attorney said Monday. Democrats on the House
Judiciary Committee had given Rove until Monday to agree to appear
voluntarily, and said they would issue a subpoena if he declined.
Siegelman, a Democrat, has alleged that Rove influenced the federal
investigation that led to his conviction in 2006 on corruption
charges.

Ex-officials: Bush admin. ignored Iraq corruption 12 May 2008 The
Bush administration repeatedly ignored corruption at the highest
levels within the Iraqi government and kept secret potentially
embarrassing information so as not to undermine its relationship
with Baghdad, according to two former State Department employees.
The State Department's policies "not only contradicted the
anti-corruption mission but indirectly contributed to and has allowed
corruption to fester at the highest levels of the Iraqi government,"
Arthur Brennan, who briefly served in Baghdad as head of the
department's Office of Accountability and Transparency last year,
told the Senate Democratic Policy Committee.
