Rockefeller Says He May Subpoena Documents on Spying (Update1)

By Jeff Bliss

Jan. 26 (Bloomberg) -- Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Jay Rockefeller said he may subpoena Bush administration documents on its controversial domestic surveillance program.

Rockefeller, a West Virginia Democrat, vowed he'll get details on a secret court's approvals of the program that targets suspected al-Qaeda members in the U.S.

``I don't trust what they're doing,'' Rockefeller said in an interview on ``Political Capital With Al Hunt'' airing this weekend on Bloomberg TV. ``If I can't get the information,'' he said, ``I will not shy away from subpoenaing'' it.

.................

``In the end, every single wiretap has to have a warrant,'' he said. ``I can't trust'' what the administration says.

3. Why can't the Admin stonewall a subpoena?

I mean, really--they can make up all kinds of shit about national security or claim that the papers either got shredded or never existed, or just a Cheneyesque "Fuck You." What could Congress do?
