U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Middlesex) subpoenaed Attornery General Michael Mukasey Tuesday, demanding that he testify and provide documents pertaining to the Justice Department's advice to the Bush Administration regarding dealing with alleged terrorists.

Leahy, chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, requested that any lists, logs, opinions, legal counsel, or memoranda from the Office of Legal Council written after Sept. 11, 2001 be given to the committee. Mukasey must hand over the documents and testify by the morning of Nov. 18.

The committee chairman also expressed his frustration with the Bush Administration's relative lack of compliance.

"After more than five years of requests for information and documents concerning legal analysis and advice from the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) related to the administration's detention and interrogation policies, the Senate Judiciary Committee has still only seen a small portion of the documents we have sought," Leahy wrote to the attorney general. "There is no legitimate argument for withholding the requested materials from this Committee."

Leahy added that he hoped for the administration's cooperation with the subpoena and said that "a comprehensive and unredacted index of the subpoenaed legal memoranda" would initially satisfy the subpoena.
