Congressman Conyers subpoenaed AG Mukasey for transcripts of the President's responses to the Fitzgerald Grand Jury investigation into Valarie Wilson. Valarie Wilson is sometimes incorrectly referred to as Valarie Plame, and was a well-recognized covert operative working on highly classified activities for the American Central Intelligence Agency.

It is a war crime to intimidate witnesses to war crimes; or withhold evidence of illegal retalation against those with knowlege of war crimes.

Mukasey's position has been the President will not respond to any inquiry on the grounds that he is above the law, not subject to any Congressional review, and cannot be required to cooperate with fact finding. In short, Mukasey would ask that we (incorrectly) believe the President is above the law.

The President has a problem, as does AG Mukasey. It is illegal to hide evidence of war crimes, or evidence of retalation against Valarie Wilson on the grounds of "national security". The DoD emails show many were involved with mobilizing the nation for war on a dubious claim of WMD, without the Geneva required imminent threat.

The FBI 302 from Guantanamo FIle 265A-MM-C99102 sheds light on the problem the President and Mukasey have in refusing to respond to questions about the President retalation against Valaries Wilson. The FBI 302 is a form documenting POW comments.

The POW being intervered had reservations about responding to questions at Guantanamo. The FBI 302 documents the following information attempting to reassure the POW:

It was mentioned that if [the prisoner] was truly innocent, he should have no hestitation answering any questions posed by interviewers. If, on the other hand, [the prisoner] was guilty of some crime, [the prisoner] should admit his mistake(s) and move on with his life in the hopes of one day being released from custody.

The FBI 302 has been released, substantially violating the privacy of the prisoner. There is no reason this President or the Attorney General can justify witholding any information about the President's truthful responses.

As the prisoner was reassured, the innocent should have no hestitation in cooperating. We need to see the President's evidence of cooperation.
