The House Committee on Foreign Affairs is calling Yahoo! chief executive Jerry Yang to a hearing on 6 November to explain why the company lied to Congress in early 2006 about its knowledge of the investigation into Chinese journalist Shi Tao.

Shi Tao ended up with a 10 year prison sentence, but Yahoo! told Congress it knew nothing about the nature of the investigation.
