Looks like HP chairwoman Patricia Dunn and Outside Counsel Larry Sonsini, the two perps of a possibly illegal investigation of board members and reporters, will soon have their day in court. The two were asked to testify before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on September 28. HP General Counsel Ann Baskins and investigator Ronald DeLia were also sent voluntary letters to attend the hearings and use it as "an opportunity to be fully open and transparent." Why letters? The congressional committee can't officially subpoena. Still, Dunn and Sonsini might not want to flake on this hearing.
