DEADLINE: July 14th

why do I have a feeling this is a deadline that'll be missed? Rumsfeld subpoenaed over Abu Ghraib [excerpt] Government Reform Committee Chairman Tom Davis, R-Va., signed the subpoena on Shay's behalf. "When the committee requests information from executive branch departments and agencies, we try to be reasonable and accommodate their legitimate concerns about the volume and the sensitivity of what we're asking for," he said. "But if the [Defense] Department won't even return a call, after three months, and begin that dialogue, we really have no choice but to subpoena the material and compel their attention to our request." Davis, Shays and Waxman are seeking: ? Provance's unredacted testimony; ? All communications relating to the interrogation, treatment or detention at Abu Ghraib of Iraqi General Hamid Zabar, his son and any other relatives; ? Communications relating to any other cases in which family members of detainees or others held at Abu Ghraib were involved in any way in an interrogation; ? All drafts of the report on the investigation of Abu Ghraib; ? All communications relating to information provided by Provance about Abu Ghraib.
