You both are right however I think we might be seeing a rope - a - dope strategery (hey, just trying to keep my thinking outside the box thingy ready).

Perhaps it's because Condi is so smart and that I'm no where near her kind of brain power but I believe she would run circles around even the slimiest of those (Ben Venesta) on the panel. Holding to their guns on the issue of privilege then giving in satisfies all sides. And brings more attention to a public hearing, which makes it hard for the media to pick and choose what they want to report.

I don't mind, call me naive. :-)

On Special Report tonight, Brit said that some of Condi's interview was cut out of the 60 minutes show Sunday night. Specifically when she told Bradley that Tenet had met with the president 46 times with some other info.

Ck Drudge - the WH is now going to compromise and release Condi's testimony. What are they thinking??? Either her testimony was classified or it wasn't. She's a most articulate individual who would only further their cause if she were allowed to testify publicly. Instead, they're going to put our her testimony in written form, which no one but us political types is going to read and which keeps this in the news cycle and w/o putting the best spokeswoman you could ask for out there. Arrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I agree.

Never trust a man who wears a purple tie.
