The top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee is defying the Bush administration and promising to investigate the destruction of CIA interrogation tapes.

The Justice Department has urged Congress not to look into the matter and advised intelligence officials not to cooperate with a legislative inquiry.

Speaking on "Fox News Sunday," U.S. Rep. Peter Hoekstra said he thinks Congress will issue subpoenas.

He lambasted the intelligence community as "incompetent," "arrogant" and "political."

The CIA says it destroyed videos showing the harsh interrogation of top al-Qaida suspects.

The CIA's director says the 2002 videos were destroyed in 2005 for fear the tapes would leak and reveal the identities of interrogators.

The Bush administration has asked Congress to postpone its review until it's clear where the government's preliminary inquiry will lead.

They say they don't know how long that will take.
