How can you have an honest discussion to arrive at a decision, if every word uttered would be released to the public and our enemies.
I wonder if this is another hook, line and sinker stratagem by the administration.
Let the Democrats blow the information out of proportion to reality, then release them, and stop debate when the facts don't support the allegations levelled by the Dems.
Who knows... The administration has done this repeatedly.
Me too.
Yes it is good she did. the Rats are just fishing for anything. The more info they can find to twist and turn the better for them. We all need to Fax and email, call DC !!!!
I read somewhere else that it was Negroponte who was withholding those documents (as a national security issue) - not Dr. Rice.
Biden may be mad because Negroponte isn't caving to him as Biden thought he would.
I'm fascinated that the Democrats' focus has turned to the question of whether Iraq's WMD's went to Syria.
I would LOVE to see a discussion of how the US State Department's intelligence organizations vetted intelligence, what they permitted people to say, who has been pushing to say more and who has been militating against putting this sort of pressure on Syria.
I realize that this is still confidential information and so, even in a hearing, would be unlikely to see the light of day. However, this is one of the central issues of the War on Terror, and I am amazed that the Democrats are willing to draw attention to their efforts to preserve Syria's status quo under Assad.
