ON CONDITION: Attorneys for Jose Rodriguez told Congress the
former CIA official won't testify about the destruction of
CIA interrogation videotapes without a promise of immunity,
two people close to the tapes inquiry said Wednesday. He is
scheduled to testify before the House Intelligence Committee
on Jan. 16.
ATTORNEY'S SAY: Defense attorney Robert Bennett told lawmakers,
however, that he would not let Rodriguez testify because of
the criminal investigation into the case.
MEANWHILE: U.S. District Judge Henry H. Kennedy agreed not
to hold hearings on whether the tapes' destruction violated
a court order. He said the Justice Department had promised
a thorough investigation.
