No, but it would make interesting reading. I really think the White House is making a big big mistake in not letting Rice testify - it only serves to keep the Clarke stuff front and center in the news. Rice would be a compelling witness for the admin, who desperately needs a compelling witness right now. Unfortunately by not letting her testify to this point, it only assures that any public testimony before the commission at this point will only serve her up as food for a ravenous Richard Bin Viniste and Roemer and Gorelick.

This has been totally misplayed by the White House. I wish Karen Hughes was still running the pr aspects of this presidency. Bartlett, et al, is totally tone deaf.

Agreed: people refusing to testify, limiting testimony, or otherwise appearing to not be forthcoming and honest, on any issue, do not engender confidence or trust here.

Hoping that your afternoon is as brilliantly gorgeous as is ours.
