* Obama to Face Test on Executive Privilege  After Rove Subpoenaed Again Over 
Attorney Firings, Siegelman Prosecution  *

The chair of the House Judiciary Committee, John Conyers, has  subpoenaed 
former White House adviser Karl Rove to testify next week about the  Bush 
administration's firing of nine US attorneys and the prosecution of former  
Alabama 
governor Don Siegelman. Rove previously refused to appear before the  panel, 
and former President Bush upheld his legal position. Rove's attorney,  Robert 
Luskin, said he would consult with President Obama's White House counsel  to 
determine the Obama administration's stance. We speak with attorney Scott  
Horton 
and former Alabama governor Don Siegelman.

* Bush's Secret Counterterrorism Law Bookâand the Demands to Release  It *

We take a look at the Bush administration's secret Justice  Department memos 
on detention, interrogation, surveillance and prosecution.  These opinions 
were issued by the Office of Legal Counsel and advised the  executive branch on 
the legality of a range of tactics in fighting the so-called  "war on terror." 
A few of these records have been made public, but many remain  secret, 
including those relating to the Bush administration's domestic  surveillance 
program. 
The investigative website ProPublica has compiled the  first public database 
of all that is currently known about these  memos.
