<<It wouldn't be contempt unless he had immunity--he could invoke the 5th amendment and not answer just like any other citizen. >>

If he refused to answer based on his 5th ammendment rights, I would agree with you. If he just refused to answer because he felt the questions were no one's business, he would be in contempt (as was seen with Susam McDougal). So far, we don't know what basis was used to refuse to answer (or even if he refused to answer).
