Conyers to Rove: No

That's the headline at TPM Muckraker. With Karl Rove refusing to testify, in person and with a public record, House Judiciary Committee Chair John Conyers is saying that simply sending a letter isn't enough -- they need to actually be able to question him.
But he is willing to compromise by providing a list of initial questions that might be asked, which would allow him to make sure that the answers that he gives to the committee are precise and accurate.
From the letter Conyers sent Rove:
Our position remains, however, that since your client has made a number of on-the-record comments on these subjects to the media, and in light of your (now modified) statement that Mr. Rove would be willing to testify, we can see no justification for his refusal to speak on the record to the Committee.
